- Human factors compliance
- Dark UI / low-light operations design
- Hardware-in-the-loop simulation tools

## Case Studies

### Mission Command & Control Interface
A ground-up redesign of the primary command and control interface used by launch operators during missions. The system handles thousands of simultaneous high-speed data streams and abort triggers, enabling launch ops and engineering to launch vehicles from a single control room operated by 6 people to remotely control any connected launch site in the world. Operator task completion time decreased by 34% on critical abort decision trees.

### Launch Vehicle Telemetry Dashboard
A telemetry visualization platform capable of rendering over 10,000 simultaneous sensor channels from a launch vehicle. Features a multi-persona architecture serving launch operations, propulsion engineers, backroom engineering, safety officers, and casual observers with adaptive data density based on mission phase and user role.

### Flight Safety Monitoring System
A real-time 3D monitoring tool for AFSS (Autonomous Flight Safety System) telemetry and vehicle position relative to corridor boundaries. Used by Launch Operations, GNC Teams, and Range Safety Officers during live missions and mission simulations.

### Multi-Test Analysis Charts
An interactive charting platform for comparing test data across multiple campaigns. Features multi-axis overlays, configurable time alignment, and statistical banding. Became the standard tool across all test and launch campaigns.

### Mission Simulation Tool
A hardware-in-the-loop mission simulation environment for pre-launch rehearsal and operator training. Supports full mission timeline playback with configurable fault injection scenarios.
