Tom Moss was a developer who worked on the early iterations of Android atGoogle. Later, he startedNextbit, which created theNextbit Robin— a smartphone which is the basis for theRazer Phoneand the Razer Phone 2.
Now, Moss will work on something different from smartphones and mobile software:drones. According to his blog post, Moss considers drone technology to still be in “the dumb stage,” and the companySkydio— of which Moss will be the new COO — is going to help usher in the smart age.
In his blog post, Moss describes his excitement using a Skydio drone for the first time when he took it along to film his weekly family bike ride.
