Senior Product Manager | Technical Program Manager | Aviation, Data & AI Platforms | Safety-Critical Systems

About

I lead product strategy and program delivery for aviation software, aeronautical data products, APIs, and data platforms. Across 16+ years in aviation, aerospace, transportation, and automotive systems, I have worked from embedded engineering and system verification through technical product ownership and senior product management. I was selected as a Boeing Designated Expert for NavData Implementation, recognizing my expertise in aeronautical data, product implementation, and safety-critical delivery. At Boeing and Jeppesen ForeFlight, I have built and scaled data and platform products for aviation. My work includes taking an Aeronautical Data Mart API from concept to production, expanding access to 6 internal engineering teams and 14 external customers, and leading the modernization of a legacy data pipeline into a governed, self-service Databricks platform. I also introduced AI-assisted requirements and documentation workflows that reduced authoring time by 40% for a 10-person product and engineering team. Earlier at Wabtec, I led delivery for a 14-member team, helping reduce software defects by 25% and release-cycle time by 15%. My experience covers product strategy, roadmaps, platform and API products, program delivery, requirements, backlog prioritization, risk and dependency management, data governance, verification and validation, and collaboration with FAA/EASA stakeholders. I am exploring Senior or Lead Product Manager and Technical or Senior Program Manager opportunities in aviation, data platforms, AI products, enterprise software, and other regulated industries.
