A retired U.S. Army colonel, Corn previously served nearly thirty years in the Army, culminating his career as the Staff Judge Advocate (General Counsel) to U.S. Cyber Command where he served from 2014 to 2019. Tim Haynie has 21-years being an innovator in the Army as an Engineer and Space Officer followed by 10-years learning data science under his built. He started Spectrabotics because I believe there is a missing link between great technology out collecting data and Problem-Owners who he saw struggling to manage and analyze Big Data. Almost every bit of data being collected either “hit the floor” or languished in a data-silo. And that was holding back the Drone Industry, the sensor manufacturers, and the Subject Matter Experts. Thankfully, he lives in Colorado which has a healthy, bustling foundation for drone expertise, both in industry and in Academia as well as supportive government leadership that sees the benefits of the technology. As he says, It helps having your head in the air…the view is amazing!
