As the digital navigator at Flight Club, I’ve been steering the tech ship with a firm hand on the wheel. From shaping our platform’s vision to managing a team of brilliant developers, I’ve ensured our digital initiatives align perfectly with business goals. I’ve also had the pleasure of designing a sleek user interface for our member booking app, which, if I do say so myself, is a joy to navigate.
