Keith is the CEO and Co-founder of Birdstop, a remote sensing platform used by enterprise to automate inspection and monitoring workflows.

Routine monitoring and inspections to protect the integrity of Alabama Power‘s 85,000 miles of power delivery infrastructure; enhanced security at the generating plants and other critical sites, and for facilities and equipment in Alabama Power’s 45,000 square-mile service area; increased effectiveness and efficiency in responding to, and recovering from, severe weather and other emergencies.
We see ourselves as a constellation of satellites, but on the ground. Birdstop can collect data and monitor assets without sending personnel into the field – or at least allow you to know more before you send people out. During emergencies, it can inform decisions about the crews, equipment and tools to be deployed.
