About the Reviewer

Joseph Monti is a software engineer who has worked in the field of software engineering for more than 12 years. His programming languages of choice are Scala and Python. He is currently the director of software engineering at ZenoRadio, which combines telephony and internet-based radio to connect listeners to broadcasters. His range of expertise includes web services, data processing systems, ad serving technology, and robotics. Whether it is an algorithm, data model, or software architecture, he relishes a challenge.

From an early age, Joseph's passion for technology motivated him to build and race radio controlled cars and program his calculator to do his homework. His interests in both hardware and software lead him to the field of robotics, and more recently, quadcopters, AI, and machine learning. He is currently working on a quadcopter as a prototype platform, controlled by Arduino and the Raspberry Pi. While he enjoys flying quadcopters, this project is intended for the challenge of overcoming the complexities of flights and taking advantage of the freedom it allows.
