Avionics Systems Architect | FAA/EASA Certification Strategist | Cockpit Innovator

WHAT I BUILD

Avionics Systems Architecture

Full-stack integration of displays, controls, sensors, propulsion interfaces, and flight management systems.

Guidance & Navigation

Advanced FMS, RNP 0.3 accuracy, trajectory management, autopilot logic for VTOL and wingborne phases

Performance & Energy Management

Speed envelopes, battery-safe VTOL profiles, climb gradients, thermal integration, redundancy strategies

Human Machine Interface

Touch, gesture, voice, ARINC 661 widgets, DAL A partitioning, and pilot-instinctive cockpit layouts

Safety & Reliability

CSFL Assurance, Redundancy, reversion logic, <10-9/hr catastrophic thresholds, DO-178C/DO-254 compliance

Situational Awareness

Synthetic Vision, obstacle clearance, crew alerting, IFR vertiport operations, urban UAM readiness

Certification Strategy

Translating TSOs/ETSOs into certified features, accelerating FAA/EASA approvals via AMOCs, SEIs and bilateral harmonization

Program Acceleration

Reduce certification timelines by aligning avionics features with FAA AC 21.17-4 and EASA SC-VTOL Issue 2 + MOC-5.

Flight Testing & Validation

Lead scenario-based testing: battery fire, motor loss, rooftop go-arounds, tiltrotor transitions, IFR vertiport ops.

Global Certification Strategy

Navigate FAA/EASA bilateral agreements, TSO/ETSOs equivalence, and urban air mobility corridors

Cross-Category Leadership

Deliver avionics solutions across eVTOL, business jets, and commercial aircraft - harmonizing CS-23, CS-25 and powered-life categories

Operational Excellence

Design cockpits for zero workload, predictive displays, and seamless pilot-machine integration

Innovation & Sustainability

Embed diversity, empathy, and sustainability into avionics design - shaping future-ready aircraft programs.
