I verify safety-critical avionics and graphics software for flight-control and aerospace systems.

Canada

Message

I'm currently verifying Vulkan SC-based graphics and compute solutions for safety-critical applications at Aversan Inc. for CoreAVI, now Lynx.

At Collins Aerospace, I developed and validated flight-control software for the Bombardier Global 7500, Mitsubishi Regional Jet, and Boeing 777X. I supported Primary Flight Control Computer and Flight Control Management applications through requirements development, verification, validation, and certification delivery.

I build test cases and procedures in Python, perform black-box and white-box testing, and analyze sensor and system CSV data to investigate anomalies and integration issues. My work follows DO-178B and ARP-4754A processes and includes regression testing, change-impact analysis, test readiness reviews, and formal test runs supporting Safety of Flight declarations.

I've also supported Boeing Flight Management System Datalink integration testing and use tools including DOORS, MATLAB, Simulink, Trace32, JIRA, ClearQuest, and Linux. My background combines aerospace engineering, avionics, and computer science.
