Now: Fleet and Network Strategy at American Airlines

Airline Strategist, Data Scientist, and Engineer

I enjoy solving unique problems with data, particularly those related to aviation.

I've been at American Airlines since July 2022, where I've worked on a variety of projects involving fleet strategy, cabin configuration, and network design. Previously, as an undergrad, I worked in an optics laboratory as an undergraduate researcher optimizing antenna designs. I'm a big fan of traveling and spending time outdoors, particularly running and backpacking.

My Projects

Somewhat old at this point, but a sampling of schoolwork, research, and personal projects I worked on before joining American. In most cases full code is available on Github!

Sometimes I write about the things I do! You'll find a few recent posts here.

Adding neural networks to the flight prediction model

If you saw my previous post, you may have noticed that I chose to use a regression to build the model for a flight prediction model. But

Building a nonstop flight prediction model

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on one of my most ambitious projects to date: buillding a model that predicts how many people might fly on any given nonstop route and then visualizing it in an interesting way. I took a course on data science this past semester where I learned quite a bit about statistics, machine learning, and data visualization, so I figured this would be a great opportunity to apply my skills to a topic I find very interesting.

What markets should a new low-cost carrier target?

With news of David Neeleman's new low-cost U.S. airline (Moxy / Breeze) slowly emerging over the past few years, I've often wondered what my strategy might be if I was starting a new low-cost carrier in the United States. So I decided to do a bit of research to figure out where the most underserved and/or overpriced markets in the continental U.S. are usi
