I'm co-founder & CTO of FlightReady, preflight risk software for pilots and flight schools.

About 75% of general aviation accidents have pilot-related causes, many of which better preflight decision making could help prevent. I knew people who died in an airplane crash, and I wanted to help change that.

FlightReady pulls weather, NOTAMs, route, airport, aircraft, pilot, and personal-minimum context into one reviewable risk picture. I own the product end to end: four risk views, Monte Carlo and tail-risk analysis, a 13-section briefing, stale and missing-data checks, FAA NOTAM and National Weather Service integrations, and 224 automated tests.

Anthropic gave me $3,000 to keep building it.
