Last year changed the way many of us thought about software. It certainly changed the way I did. I spent much of 2025 building, probing, and questioning how to build software, and in many more ways what I want to do.

AirHub's platform addresses the operational complexity of drone fleet management, offering features like flight planning, live streaming, compliance with airspace regulations, and incident reporting, all from a single dashboard.

"Any exposure of source code or system-level logic is significant, because it shows how controls are implemented. In AI systems, that layer is especially critical.
