AF Flight Training Scheduler

Notes:

An example of where I used data to create a more valuable user centric design.

USAF Flight Training Scheduler is a dashboard application specifically designed to support the US Air Force in managing various aspects of pilot training. This comprehensive application tracks pilot training, trainer schedules, fuel consumption, aircraft maintenance schedules, and other relevant information.

Previously, the Air Force relied on an Excel file for managing these tasks. However, this approach proved inefficient and prone to errors when multiple individuals attempted to edit the file simultaneously, often resulting in inconsistent updates across trainers.

To address these challenges, the AF Flight Training Scheduler leverages data and utilizes advanced behavioral machine learning models. These models enable the creation of intuitive visualizations and interactive dashboards, empowering all flight trainers to effectively monitor and manage courses, students, trainers, and other pertinent details for a duration of up to one year.

By adopting this application, the US Air Force can streamline and enhance the efficiency of their flight training operations, ensuring accurate information, reducing errors, and providing a centralized platform for collaborative scheduling and tracking. I worked with Engineers, Developers, Air Force Pilots and Air Force Pilot Trainers on this project.

I worked on this project at Anno.AI. I was brought in as Anno.AI went through 20 other Designers and leaders that couldn’t figure out the project or what exactly needed before they found me as a Director that assists and coaches Designers. I thrive in making the ambiguous and complex simplistic. I was able to thrive and excel where others failed. I felt lucky to learn about machine learning and AI and work with some of the most incredible people I have ever worked with. The contract Anno.AI had with the Air Force was almost due and Anno.AI did not have the pieces of the puzzle. When I came in, I had many meetings and went through the product roadmap and contract with the US Air Force and worked brilliantly with the Developers and Engineers from across the globe to create a product that has brought the US Air Force into the present and future. This software has been successful and deployed at most US Air Force bases. I am so proud of this project.
