About

I help early career engineers grow with confidence at MathWorks through coaching, mentoring, technical guidance, and career development in the Engineering Development Group. My earlier work in aerospace and systems engineering, including flight control systems, integration, testing, and certification efforts on major programs such as the Airbus A220 and Boeing 777X, taught me how clear communication and patient leadership help teams succeed. I now use those lessons to support learning, encourage exploration, and help engineers build paths that match their strengths and long term goals while developing strong skills in MATLAB, Simulink, collaboration, and technical problem solving.

Nov 2018 – Apr 2019 · 5 mos · Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States · On-site

I moved from leading work on the Bombardier CSeries Primary Flight Control Computer program, now known as the Airbus A220, to taking on the Principal Engineer role for the Boeing 777X Flight Control Module project.
As Systems Lead and Team Lead for the CSeries program, I guided a group of more than fifteen engineers. I supported requirements work, verification, validation, and the full certification cycle. I also served as the main contact for certification documentation and prepared the materials that demonstrated compliance with DO 178B and ARP 4754A standards.
My practical experience with system integration and certification helped during my shift to the Boeing 777X team at a key stage in the effort, the first major release. The project moved from software development to large scale integration, testing, code coverage work, and certification. I joined as Principal Engineer to support build planning, scope and schedule planning, cross team dependencies, and technical reviews. I also mentored future leaders and joined budget and resource discussions.
