Led the product development for the G600 TXi flight display system, including product concept, market research, development planning, system requirements, and extensive user interface and experience (UI/UX) design and testing. Set the standard for system requirements, starting with the GDU 7XX flight display system, to be functionally focused, and collated performance and environmental requirements for easier system verification and certification.Overhauled flight deck alerting schemes. Standardized the Garmin Info/Caution/Warning alerting implementation, and created truly pilot-actionable alerts for distributed avionics systems.I designed and certified interfaces between the G600 Flight Display and existing autopilots, including Bendix/King (Honeywell), Cessna, Century, S-TEC (Genesys), and Collins flight control systems.
