    I worked with Dan Burkhardt from 2019–2023 on ESIMS, a mobile platform for US Air Force’s Air Advisor units. Dan led user discovery directly with active military units and translated their mission critical workflows into an intuitive, secure, and highly polished mobile solution spanning UX, data design, and system architecture. His leadership, creativity, and ability to align technical execution with real operational needs were essential to the program’s success.
