DaCoda Bartels

Sr. VP of Operations

Wing Divider Element Gray

In 2011, DaCoda began flying helicopters commercially, specializing in stabilized camera payloads for the film and TV industry. During work on a Vancouver film set a year later, he was introduced to drones.

His interest in drones took off immediately, and in 2014, he introduced drone technology to the Oil & Gas market at LAGCOE (Lafayette, LA). He co-founded Aerobotics Energy Group, which G.I.S acquired as Aerobotics Drone Division in 2018.

DaCoda is credited with flying and supervising more than 500 offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, plus Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations for offshore cargo delivery.

When DaCoda isn’t flying a drone, he’s most likely practicing archery in preparation for bow season.
