Profile
Resume overview and engineering impact
I work at the intersection of flight operations, system engineering, and data analysis. My role is to make flight test results understandable, trustworthy, and immediately useful for teams improving aircraft design, safety, and performance.
Alongside the engineering analysis itself, I build Python, SQL, and MATLAB tooling that automates recurring workflows, shortens turnaround time, and helps technical teams move from raw telemetry to action with less friction.
Focus
Automation and tooling
Design internal tools and processing pipelines in Python, SQL, and MATLAB to accelerate reporting and recurring engineering work.
Cross-functional delivery
Operate between flight operations and engineering groups, including live telemetry monitoring and support for safety-critical decisions.
