Business problem

Pilot work was assigned, reported and approved without one place to track it.

My contribution

Designed the flow from assignment to manager approval and built the SharePoint app with six automated flows for notifications, reassignments, record locking and daily reminders.

Solution

Managers assign, pilots report back, managers approve, and every record lands on a categorized timeline with a dashboard for remote managers.

Value

Shows end-to-end workflow design and systems integration that gives managers remote oversight.

Business problem

Flight requests, safety checks and post-flight records lived on separate forms in an outside tool, with no single connected record.

My contribution

Rebuilt the existing pilot forms in Microsoft Forms and connected them with Power Automate and SharePoint, adding role-based approval, a safety checklist and a no-override grounding gate.

Solution

One controlled process from request to approval, pre-flight risk check and post-flight record, with notifications at each step. In daily use since July 2026.

Value

Shows operational governance: safety controls and approvals built into one traceable process.

Business problem

Client drone requests arrived in different shapes and needed files, follow-ups and stage tracking by hand.

My contribution

Adapted an existing request form into a branching intake and built seven automated flows for intake, upload links, file receipt, reminders and sync, plus a role-based tracker.

Solution

A request asks only what its service needs, collects files automatically and moves through clear stages with a full activity history.

Value

Shows conditional logic and process design for client-facing requests.

Business problem

There was no single view of where each aircraft and piece of equipment was, or what state it was in.

My contribution

Defined the requirements, designed, tested and deployed a custom SharePoint dashboard using AI-assisted development.

Solution

One searchable view of every asset by location and status, with maintenance and activity history.

Value

Shows information management and operational visibility for equipment.

Business problem

Equipment and training purchases needed competing quotes and better terms under time pressure.

My contribution

Sourced and compared 10 providers across the United States and Canada, negotiated pricing and inclusions, and prepared recommendations for approval.

Solution

$20K+ in negotiated commercial value: price reductions plus price protection, three price locks and nine added inclusions.

Value

Shows commercial judgment: sourcing, comparing and negotiating under time pressure.

Business problem

Drone operations work passes through many hands, from the client request to delivery, with no single record.

My contribution

My own product concept: I defined nine roles and the stages a job moves through, and directed the AI-assisted build and its 398 automated tests.

Solution

One record carries a project from client intake to delivery and feedback, with an integrated AI assistant that prepares and explains while people decide (the assistant is not part of this public demo).

Value

Shows product thinking: designing a multi-role system end to end and directing an AI-assisted build.

1. Chapter 1

   India

   Where I grew up and started in aviation

   The experience

   Two years in the cabin as a flight attendant at a domestic airline, where my aviation career began.

   What it taught me

   Safety first, service under pressure and reading a situation quickly.

   How it shows up today

   I design every system around the person who has to use it.

2. Chapter 2

   Qatar

   Global aviation and leadership

   The experience

   Six years with an international airline, progressing to Cabin Senior and leading cabin crews of up to 10.

   What it taught me

   How to lead diverse, international teams in demanding, highly regulated environments.

   How it shows up today

   I bring the same calm structure to operations, approvals and compliance.

3. Chapter 3

   United States

   Business systems and AI

   The experience

   Training leadership, workplace operations and professional flight training, then business systems.

   What it taught me

   That a good process is something I can build, test and keep improving.

   How it shows up today

   I negotiate with vendors and use AI-assisted development to build working systems.

After eight years in airline cabins, I wanted to experience aviation from the pilot's seat. In 2023 I began full-time professional flight training in Scottsdale, Arizona. I earned my FAA Private Pilot Certificate in April 2024, my Instrument Rating in December 2024 and my Commercial Pilot Certificate in June 2025. Flight training sharpened my decision-making, discipline, situational awareness and problem-solving in a safety-critical environment. It reflects something that runs through my career: choosing to learn something hard and building a whole new capability.

Also passed in 2025: FAA knowledge tests for Fundamentals of Instructing and Advanced Ground Instructor.
