Developing Terminal Sequencing and Spacing (TSAS) adaptation in support of Time-Based Flow Management (TBFM) deployment with TSAS capabilities, including tools that aid in the creation and validation of the adaptation Supports NextGen TSAS capability testing at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC) by providing input for scenario development and expert perspective on the adaptation Developed Cavan Lab, a full data analytics platform, including a pipeline of TBFM source data, data storage, and a front-end interface for analysis and simulation, requiring the integration of many tools and scripts in various programming languages which had been developed by other Cavan team members to make the final platform function in a multi-container environment that is easily extensible and deployable Developed the application programming interface (API) in Cavan Lab for data retrieval and front-end interface to analyze the data, utilizing Airflow for scheduling, Postgres and Elasticsearch for data storage, Docker for containerization, Django Rest Framework for APIs, Minio for unstructured data storage, and React for front-end
