@ilaqabayern
Founder at Aero Compliance Services building AI agents that streamline EASA and UK CAA aviation compliance.
What I'm looking for
At Aero Compliance Services, I build AI agents for DOA, POA, Part 145 and CAMO teams. They help find procedures, triage shared mailboxes and screen new publications, while keeping every regulatory sign-off with the client’s post-holders.
Across four EASA- and UK CAA-approved aviation organisations, I serve as a fractional compliance post-holder. My work includes independent system monitoring, quality management and safety management.
At Eaton, I led the quality and compliance function for Fluid & Electrical Distribution aerospace operations, including the plant quality programme and its quality and supplier-quality team. Before that, at Dornier Seawings GmbH, I managed the quality management system and monitored processes against EN/AS 9100 and EASA Part 21 requirements.
I’ve spent 16+ years in EASA-regulated aviation and hold an ISO 19011 Lead Auditor qualification. I build compliance agents grounded in each client’s handbook and approval scope, with sources cited and human approval built into the process.
