Remote ID Auditing, Compliance, UAS, Marine

Gabriel has been leading the ASTM UAS Remote ID workgroup (as Chairman) consisting of industry and government stakeholders to bring a consensus standard solution and Means of Compliance (MOC) for Remote ID. This standard has been adopted by the FAA, European Union, Japan, and several other countries coming online. He created the original prototype protocol from which the standard is based and is the #1 Global Subject Matter Expert on UAS Remote ID.

He also served on the FAA’s Aviation Rulemaking Committee for Remote ID. He is the creator of the OpenDroneID protocol and the github open source project site supporting Remote ID solutions.

Some of his most recent work in the industry was at Intel Corporation (18 years, 5 patents) as an Aviation and Drone System Architect where he was leading many aspects (Control System design, Part 21 Certification, and Aircraft STCs) of the future drone and high altitude survey products. He has a history of developing client, server, and cloud hardware and software solutions with a very strong background in systems architecture, networking, coding, APIs, and security.

Prior to Intel, he led software product architecture and development at a feisty Blade Server startup where his system management designs won several #1 awards against competing products from the “big 3” server manufacturers.

Gabriel’s early entrepreneurial ventures began with starting a regional Internet service company in the mid-90s providing dialup (remember those?), ISDN, and ATM internet connectivity along with Web Hosting services.

Outside of product and standards development, Gabriel, and his family, enjoy seafaring in their boat along with the adventures and privileges that come with being a licensed Private Pilot and Remote Pilot.
