Los Angeles, CAAvailable for impact
Aviation Software Product Engineer, Systems Engineer, and FAA Private Pilot with nearly 30 years of continuous experience across aviation operations, safety, quality, and technology.
Operational advantage
My value comes from combining two disciplines rarely found in the same profile: firsthand aviation experience and the ability to translate complex operations into working digital products.
I understand the environment behind the interface—the people, decisions, risks, records, and accountability that determine whether software helps or gets in the way.

Selected work
Each product began with an operational problem I had seen firsthand, then moved through workflow modeling, architecture, implementation, and validation.

Active product
An installable aviation and drone platform combining weather, airspace, NOTAMs, radar, wind profiles, and aircraft limitations in one operational interface.
View case studyHow I work
I do not begin with a framework or a feature list. I begin by understanding the operation.
I begin with users, decisions, information, constraints, and the real environment—not with a technology choice.
I separate visible symptoms from root causes and define the operational outcome the product must create.
Roles, events, states, records, exceptions, dependencies, and business rules become a coherent system model.
I prioritize the smallest complete solution, then define architecture, data relationships, permissions, and interfaces.
Working versions are tested through complete operational scenarios, corrected, and improved through iteration.
Real use, performance, and feedback guide the next development cycle without compromising the operational core.
AI with purpose
Domain knowledge defines the product. AI accelerates and extends its capabilities.
I integrate AI into contextual analysis, information retrieval, classification, pattern support, and workflow assistance. I also use AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate coding, testing, debugging, and documentation.
Product strategy, architecture, business rules, operational validation, and final safety decisions remain human-led.
What I bring
I can work with aviation users, terminology, risk, and constraints without years of industry onboarding.
I turn ambiguous operational problems into priorities, workflows, business rules, and product decisions.
I contribute across architecture, frontend, backend, data, AI, testing, documentation, and deployment.
I communicate with pilots, engineers, developers, auditors, safety teams, and operational leaders.
Next conversation
I'm interested in opportunities where aviation knowledge, product engineering, and software execution come together.
