What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a fully remote or shore-based Flight Operations Support or Aviation Software Analyst role where I can apply EFB systems knowledge, safety management, data literacy, operational planning, and technical training experience.

I've managed flight logistics, route planning, fuel optimisation, and EFB navigation systems for Air Whanganui’s 24/7 aeromedical and charter operations, supporting complex IFR King Air fleet missions. I maintained a flawless safety record during high-stress patient transfers while working within Part 135 regulations and medical transport protocols.

I’ve also trained and assessed line pilots at Air Napier, delivered flight and ground-school instruction at ST Aerospace Academy, and supported corporate charter operations across Australia and New Zealand. I’m now transitioning from active flying into remote or shore-based flight operations support and aviation software analyst work, bringing practical safety, systems, data, and stakeholder experience.
