About

I’ve spent decades working in aviation, inside airlines, MROs, and CAMOs. I saw firsthand how legacy maintenance systems slow progress and even compromise safety. I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I founded AirNxt. I'm building the 1st next-gen MRO platform to cut through the noise, delivering real-time data, lightning-fast performance, and AI-powered Agents that go beyond old-school MRO systems. I’m driven by the belief that smarter tools make for safer, more efficient aviation. If you share that vision, I’d love to connect.
