During this period, our organization was moved over to GE Digital where many software teams were relocated. In this role, I focused on getting FlightPulse off the ground as a new fledgling software product by improving the customer app and management experience. This involved collaborating closely with customers and pilots to develop tailored customizations that support their safety and fuel efficiency programs.• Re-architected and migrated the original FlightPulse app services from GE's legacy Predix cloud platform to all-new native Azure services that are easily redeployed with infrastructure-as-code via pipelines in Azure DevOps.• Designed and developed a new FlightPulse Config Console web app, built on Blazor, to allow all our customers to design and develop their own safety and fuel programs used in the FlightPulse app. This app was recently highlighted in the .NET Conf 2021 keynote (see 41:40 in YouTube link below).• Transitioned the original FlightPulse hybrid mobile app to a native Swift iOS app to provide the best in-app pilot experience.Technology: C#, JavaScript, Swift, Blazor, ASP.NET Core, Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Azure DevOps.
