Designed and developed several mathematical software products to facilitate efficient planning of various activities related to airline operations and provide optimal recovery solutions for various operational disruptions. Crafted tools and processes to streamline production of airline-specific software; managed and mentored team of junior developers in customization activities. Liaised with airlines to define specifications and team leads to determine data requirements. Analyzed solver generated solutions during user acceptance testing (UAT) and support incidents; promptly addressed and resolved issues.

• Played instrumental role in acquisition of several multimillion-dollar airline contracts by overseeing completion of complex "proof of concept" projects.
• Utilized first-hand knowledge of all products to construct a set of fundamental frameworks and libraries, including a library for creating mathematical models within various problem domains and a framework for creating a rules database and customizing rule sets.
• Decreased length of UAT cycles by suggesting and introducing a new process for obtaining accurate requirements.
• Instituted process for regression testing optimizers; implemented a tool for conducting testing; coordinated with Quality Assurance (QA) for test execution.
• Consistently participated and resolved problems across multiple projects; successfully returned four troubled projects to timely production.
