    Designed and delivered as customer enhancements: save/recall for a legacy FMS, and custom instructor-station controls.

03 CRUISE BUILDS — ORIGIN

Hardware first.

Before the simulators: machines I built and programmed myself. Real-time operating systems, sensor fusion, control loops, hardware-in-the-loop — the same vocabulary as flight simulation. This is where the systems instinct comes from.
