TRU Simulation + Training develops state-of-the-art, high fidelity flight training solutions—from portable desktop devices and distance-learning courseware to fixed-base training devices and full-motion simulators for civil and defense fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft.

Key Achievements:

I lead the engineering redesign of a service which interfaced with third party vendors. I made use of the bridge design pattern to allow the service to easily adapt to different vendors between projects without having to change the inward facing interface between other services. This change vastly reduced bloat in the code base, limited rework, and reduced time spent on debugging.

I took over ownership of and completed a suite of products which collected data from other distributed systems and provided the user a GUI to playback that data. The successful completion of these systems allowed the company to close out several, multi-year contracts. I became the subject matter expert for that product, going on to make iterative improvements and bring new hires up to speed on the systems involved.

I delivered a system well under budget which simulated the sound and communication system of an aircraft for a flight simulator. This allowed me to give time back to other engineers on a project which had a tight budget and schedule to begin with and greatly facilitated the successful delivery of the device.
