Meet Quentin Russell

Based in Covington, GA, Quentin Russell is a Systems Engineer, Paramotor Pilot, and follower of Jesus. While his day job involves managing the complex architecture of Advanced Traffic Management Systems, his life is defined by a simple principle: stewardship.

Quentin believes that excellence in technology isn’t just a professional requirement; it is a way to honor the Creator. Whether he is consulting on a nationwide digital infrastructure project or coding a home automation script, he applies the same rigor and honesty that he relies on when flying at 3,000 feet.

“I don’t just recommend tech; I stress-test it in the real world. As a pilot and infrastructure architect, I know that ‘good enough’ fails when the pressure is on. My goal is to build solutions that are as reliable as the ground I land on and as honest as the faith I stand on.”
