About Paul Ronan

Paul is an accomplished engineer who is aspiring to take on projects in the aviation field related to software safety and security. He has a strong background in both operating and engineering Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Most recently he completed a Master of Science in Computer Engineering, which is a capstone on a career consisting of Navy Officer, Safety Engineer, and Airline Pilot. Paul has extensive engineering experience focused on system safety creating hazard analysis and risk assessments of avionics hardware and software. He has worked with aircraft manufacturers and associated suppliers to obtain certification from aviation regulatory bodies worldwide. His experience as an Airline Pilot gives him additional insight into the human factors aspect of avionics development, something he enjoys explaining to his coworkers. Paul has also worked on a variety of unmanned aircraft (UAS) developing systems and security architecture that will become more prevalent in the future. Paul’s journey as a civilian pilot began after his Navy career. He earned his pilot certificates at a local flight school and flew for Trans States Airlines as a reconnaissance pilot leading to his current position as a First Officer for JetBlue Airways. In the past, Paul has owned an aircraft and still enjoys flying with his family and colleagues at a local flying club.
