Our Mission

Andrew’s career has spanned travel technology, big data, and AI. As an engineer and chief architect at SynXis, Sabre, and ITA Software, Andrew shaped some of the travel industry’s most innovative platforms. Later, as an engineering and product leader at Google and Apple, he and his teams created planet-scale databases, revolutionary AI infrastructure, and industry-leading developer tools.

‍

Andrew returned to travel tech and Sabre in 2019, where he kick-started Sabre 2.0, a modern re-imagining of the travel tech giant’s commercial and operational platforms, cloud infrastructure, developer tools, and software development process. This work culminated in the creation of Mosaic, Sabre’s AI-powered airline retailing platform and the industry’s first clean-sheet CRS replacement.

‍

As Flight Science’s CEO, Andrew brings his more than 20 years of travel technology, big data, and AI experience to building the airline industry’s first AI-enabled airline operations platform. An instrument-rated pilot, Andrew loves exploring the west coast with his wife Michelle.

Josh brings extensive expertise in robotics and automation, with a specialization in optimization and planning for distributed robotic systems. His career spans from early R&D to deployment, focusing on autonomous, real-time planning in logistics, space exploration, and defense environments.

‍

Before joining Flight Science, Josh held various research and management roles at Shield.ai, Outrider.ai, Amazon Robotics, and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. At NASA JPL, he led and contributed to custom planning solutions for Department of Defense, commercial, and spaceflight projects, including systems that operate daily on Earth and elsewhere.

‍

Josh earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota, where his thesis explored competitive online algorithms for multi-robot information gathering in applications such as precision agriculture and invasive species tracking.

After earning her pilot’s certificate, Caitlin knew she wanted to switch professions and work in aviation full time. She became a dispatcher, first working at a 135 charter company and instructing potential dispatchers on manual Flight Planning to earn their dispatch certificates.

‍

Caitlin moved on to working at a 121 carrier, Virgin America, first as a line dispatcher and continued to take on more responsibility as an ATC Coordinator, desk trainer, and finally to a classroom instructor. Once Alaska Airlines bought Virgin America, she continued her career in Seattle and worked on integrating the two airlines dispatch offices and received commendation from the FAA on the training program.

‍

Outside of her time there, she edited the third edition of Air Carrier Operations while moving into a dispatch management role. She’s excited to be part of the Flight Science team and help create a product designed from real-world dispatch experience.

Hubert has spent the past 14 years building cloud-native infrastructure and high-performance systems across aviation and telecommunications. Most recently, he led multiple engineering teams at Sabre focused on Offer technology in the airline industry and contributed to cross-domain efforts in retail and order management. At Flight Science, he is focused on backend systems and infrastructure behind our AI-enabled airline operations.

John Carmack has been building full-stack software solutions for enterprise for 25 years. Their career started in 1998, when they were hired to build the very first website for the Hinton Municipal Airport (2O8). Since then, they’ve specialized in creating user-friendly, scalable web interfaces for aviation and beyond.

‍

At Flight Science, John focuses on frontend architecture, ensuring a seamless digital experience for users. With decades of experience, they blend modern technology with practical solutions to meet the needs of today’s aviation professionals.

Heather Broxson is a dynamic creative professional with a diverse career path spanning design, education, business operations, and the performing arts. This background has given her a deeply developed understanding of holistic storytelling, business needs, and audience engagement that greatly informs her approach to product design.

Heather loves building systems that make complicated processes feel simple. At Deloitte, she helped design and launch an internal research portal for accountants and auditors in an industry full of rules, precision, and data. This was a natural predecessor to working in aviation, where she thrives in making complex workflows more intuitive and efficient.

As Product Marketing Manager at Flight Science, I have the privilege of shaping how people connect with our brand, our mission, and the future of aviation. From engaging with customers and collaborating with media to strengthening our internal culture, I’m dedicated to making our message clear, compelling, and meaningful.

My background in brand design, entrepreneurial ventures, and over a decade of leading diverse, high-performing teams has brought me to a role that blends strategy with storytelling. At its core, communication is more than just what we say—it's how we build trust, inspire clarity, and create lasting impact.

Rithwik graduated magna cum laude from the University of Maryland, College Park with a B.S. in Computer Science. He interned at Charles Schwab as an SRE, focusing on system stability and monitoring, and later worked at SmartBots.ai, where he developed data science and machine learning tools — including RAG pipelines and text-to-SQL systems. At Flight Science, he is currently working on flight plan simulation and dashboard development.
