Integration of software packages from internal and external suppliers: BEST (MicroNav) and ATCoach / ATTower (UFA) air situation generators, electronic strips and arrival manager (Skysoft), Skyvisu CWP software, Samax ground radar (Nova). Port configuration, gateways, proxies and scripts to allow ops software to work in a sim environment.CICD concepts: build with Jenkins, deploy with Puppet and Artifactory.Liaison with product owners to ensure continuous delivery of new packages, coordination with external suppliers to solve bugs, validation of deliverables, integration of those into baselines.Review software architecture documents to establish best strategy for integration.Second level support of tower and radar simulation platforms, answering hotline calls, ensuring continuity of training. Record, resolve and escalate incidents with tickets. [JIRA, Confluence]

Airspace simulation platforms and content – day-to-day management of Maescape and TRG simulators. First point of contact for SW/HW faults, incident tracking, escalating hardware failures to the appropriate ENG teams. Assisting instructors with exercise validation and implementing change requests. Developed multiple software tools which make creating, randomising and validating exercise content faster. [PHP, SQL, JavaScript, Bash, JIRA]Simulation platform development – created the CHIP 2.0 tool, which allows instructors to alter an exercise as required, introduce emergencies or request specific aircraft actions. This tool reduces costs by running on cheaper hardware, reduces the support burden on the Engineering team and enhances the capability of the TRG platform. It also offers more customisation options compared to the old version, and is easier to update. Integrated with existing applications. [Java, PHP, JavaScript, RHEL admin]Developed a web-based replica of our sim VCS and integrated it with existing systems – enabled training of ab-initio students during COVID pandemic by having pilots work from home. [PHP, SQL, JavaScript, WebRTC, Bash, Chrome extensions, AWS admin, Git]Planning and organising – day-to-day supervision of a team of 20 simulator pilots, ensuring all training slots are adequately staffed, arranging short-notice extra duties to cover unexpected absences. Developed the new online roster tool which facilitates duty assignment and swaps, as well as improving access for end-users. [PHP, SQL, JavaScript, C#, Git, Cordova mobile apps]Liaising with ENG for software testing and acceptance, debugging of existing tools, identifying weaknesses, incremental improvements and development of new tools. Developed a web application which replaces some functions of the old tools, providing a graphical representation of flight trajectories on a map and adding support for new sectors. [PHP, JavaScript, flight dynamics and trajectory modelling]

Web application development – developed multiple applications for both internal and external business users in aviation, e-learning, HR and training management domains. Typically 3 projects ongoing at any one time. [Java, PHP, JQuery, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Git]E-exam application – developed a web application that delivers examinations whilst tracking candidate behaviour. Product drove sales of £150,000 in 2017 alone. Listed as inventor in UK and US patent applications.Business intelligence – developed several tools to facilitate or improve internal processes. Reduced burden on psychometric testing team from one whole working day to 2 hours when processing results (video analysis in C++ with Open Computer Vision library).Team management and mentoring – key role in the development team, helped junior staff with tool setup, code review, debugging, advised on business logic and complex algorithms. Requirements gathering and analysis, customer interaction – participated in meetings with customers to define requirements, conducted code review and testing to ensure requirements were met, daily direct contact with customers for post-deployment support.

Ground instructor duties focused on training of ATCA cadets - Aircraft General Knowledge, Principles of Flight, Aircraft Performance and Navigation subjects.I developed a simulator of the flightplan management software present at Al Dhafra military base - this was then used to train assistants heading to that field.I developed an instructor-pilot communication tool with a graphical interface that runs on iPads. In the sim this allows instructors to alter an exercise as required, introduce emergencies or request a specific action for an aircraft or vehicle.I added an airfield lighting system to the e.sigma CBAST simulator and was commended by themanufacturer for the results.I developed software which prints flight strips in a variety of formats - user can select or deselect fields as required e.g. aircraft type, squawk, etc. Data is synchronized with aircraft flightplan files on a network drive.

Involved in rating training (area control surveillance) for ab-initio ATCO students. From the second year I was in charge of the day-to-day maintenance of the simulator, including software and hardware troubleshooting.Other tasks assigned to me included: testing of new simulator exercises, development of online briefings for student review prior to each lesson, updating and converting training presentations to the new e-Learning format.
