Saunon Malekshahi

Saunon studied Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley. Originally from San José, Costa Rica, he obtained his pilot’s license at age 14 and went on to explore the aerospace landscape through research, industry, and competitions. His work as a hardware engineer at Natilus, an aerospace startup, coupled with self-driving vehicle research with Aptiv and robotics research with NASA Ames, have given him a key understanding of the aerial mobility industry today. He joined Moonware to disrupt the aviation ground handling sector, which has remained stagnant over the last century.
