About
I have 7 years of experience in the agriculture aviation industry, where I specialized in design, drafting, prototyping, testing, and R&D, along with collaboration with the FAA for STC and TC certifications. I authored substantiation reports and managed projects using Kanban, Agile, and Critical Path methodologies. I also mentored and trained engineers and drafters in internal and FAA-audited standards. As a mechanical engineer, I gained extensive experience in aviation design and FAA certification processes.
