About the designer
Nick Dat Le
I’m a software engineer with 20 years of experience, based in Los Angeles — and I design drone light shows. Not as a middleman forwarding your brief to an agency: I build and run the design pipeline that turns your idea into simulated, collision-checked drone choreography you can watch before you spend anything.
Why an engineer designs your show
The preview isn’t a mockup. It’s the show.
A drone show is software wearing lights. Every formation is a set of 3D coordinates; every transition is a path-planning problem; every “wow” moment is choreography that has to be simulated and collision-checked before a single drone lifts off. That’s engineering work, and it’s the part I do myself — in the same professional tooling used for shows around the world.
Because the design file isthe flight plan, the render you approve is exactly what flies. Most buyers never get to see their show before show night. Mine do — it’s the first thing you get with your quote.
On show night, flights are operated by FAA-authorized, insured flight crews, with permits and airspace coordination handled as part of the production.
