•Executed all aspects of Delta's Complete Fleet Services (CFS) program with airline customers Hawaiian Airlines' (HAL) A330s and Royal Air Maroc's (RAM) B767s under MRO services agreements including: o Airworthiness Directive (AD) compliance o Reliability analysis and improvements o Maintenance Programs implementation and task interval extensions •Identified and defined a variety of key performance indicators (KPIs) including delays, cancellations, Completion Factor (completed flights vs total scheduled flights), Operational Difficulty Index (air turn backs, aborted take-offs, in-flight engine shutdowns, etc.) and log page write-ups to identify and improve low-reliability areas.•Developed reliability models and predictive life limits of complex aircraft components (using Weibull Analysis) •Implemented corrective actions for Airbus A330 ATA 29 (High Pressure Manifolds) and ATA 22 (FMGECs) including preventative maintenance procedures & modifications in the interest of reliability, safety, and cost reduction•Developed cost estimates and return on investment (ROI) based on labor, parts, tooling and increased reliability•Partnered with vendor to analyze component failures to determine root cause of failures •Improved data collection for low reliability components by utilizing new data collection software & tools. This allowed for more accurate root cause analysis •Reviewed Airbus A330 technical follow-ups (TFUs), service bulletins (SBs), service information letters (SILs), and airworthiness directives (ADs) and recommended action. Implemented 27 AD compliance projects in 3 years.•Participated in a collaborative design process with Airbus, other airlines, and component OEMs to incorporate design changes that ensured previous design failures were removed.•Supported initial on-boarding of new MRO customers and their new aircraft deliveries. Additionally supported off-boarding/ lease return processes.

•Supported the specification, implementation, and deployment of business applications, both commercial and custom-built, to the Technical Operations team while ensuring compliance to DOT and FAA requirements: o Maintenance and Engineering applications: Trax, FilemakerPro, Arbortext, Airbus Airman, AirVault, AMS Realtime, Pelesys o Document and Content Management System applications: Techview, ArborText, Airbus Airnav, Airbus ADOC o Integration between Maintenance and Operations Control applications: Trax-Sabre Movement Control, Trax-Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), Trax-Lufthansa Technik.•Created regulatory reports for airline managers and aircraft lessors using data warehouse tools Oracle SQL Developer and Microsoft SQL Server Management•Created reports/dashboards for airline managers that identified high risk aircraft or high customer impact items for the daily operation•Applied data analysis to aircraft maintenance programs quarterly to uncover issues with setup of engineering controls. This prevented compliance issues.•Created report, Task Card Work Pack Reconciliation Report, for Aircraft Records team to identify what records had not been scanned but had been completed by maintenance technicians•Managed implementation of document management systems, TechView and Airnav, which improved the ability of Technical Publications to edit and publish Airbus documents. Also improved the ability of Tech Ops to view documents, search keywords, and print faster. •Improved TechOps processes and software by visiting each line and heavy maintenance station (MIA, SBD, JFK, LAX, SFO) to discuss problems then prioritized and implemented fixes to those issues •Fixed interface issues by working with 3 different vendor IT groups: Lufthansa IT Hamburg, Sabre IT Dallas, and Trax IT Miami. These fixes reduced Records and Operations Control departments’ workload, minimized compliance issues, and increased safety
