Drone Inspection Software

This was a cloud-based drone inspection platform I built as a solo developer. It’s designed for inspecting things like transmission towers, wind turbines, and solar panels using images captured by drones.

The goal was simple: make it easy for inspectors to review images, annotate problem areas, and generate clear reports that support real maintenance decisions. A lot of existing tools either felt too clunky or too technical, so ease of use was a big focus from day one.

I built the frontend with React and the backend with Node.js, making sure the system could handle large image datasets without slowing down. Inspectors can zoom into images, mark areas of interest, and document structural issues directly on the visuals.

On top of that, I built a reporting system that turns inspection findings into structured reports highlighting key issues and anomalies. This makes it easier for teams to prioritize repairs and allocate resources effectively.

Even as a solo-built product, the platform ended up being reliable, scalable, and practical for real-world inspections. It’s a good example of how I like to work: take something complex, strip away the noise, and build a tool people can actually use in the field.
