Flight simulation has been a serious part of my aviation journey alongside real-world flying. I began on VATSIM he world's largest online flight simulation network in 2020. Since then, I've logged over 1,400 hours as a pilot and 255+ hours as an air traffic controller, working both sides of the frequency. The ATC experience in particular gave me a deep understanding of how controllers think and communicate, which directly led to my work as an ATC Data Analyst at Enhanced Radar Corporation.
