What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and improve practical products that turn real operational knowledge into reliable software, using AI-assisted development, disciplined testing, and strong documentation.

I created PASSCARs, a live aviation education platform for Aircraft Maintenance Engineer students and professionals, and AirsideDriver/AVOP, an airport airside-driver training product. I use ChatGPT, Claude Code, and AI workflows to turn operational requirements into web and mobile features, then audit, test, troubleshoot, and verify the results.

Alongside product building, I perform aircraft maintenance at Air Canada and bring more than a decade of aerospace experience across Boeing, Airbus, CRJ, DHC-8, Challenger 350, and other aircraft programs. My aviation background keeps my work focused on procedure, accuracy, documentation, and verification.
