The Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) is a initiative that replaces manual, paper-based processes with a digital interface for more efficient air traffic control. By centralizing real-time data, the system optimizes departure sequencing to significantly reduce aircraft taxi times and fuel consumption. This modernization facilitates seamless collaboration between the FAA and airlines, increasing safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System. 

My work on the TFDM program involved ensuring new system capabilities were operationally ready through rigorous validation, alongside traveling to field locations for hands-on system integration and terminal support.
