Engineering clarity for complex missions.
I’m Suzanne Hoey. I work where aerospace engineering, rigorous research, artificial intelligence, and software meet—turning complicated technical information into systems, evidence, and tools people can act on.
Open to thoughtful aerospace, AI, research, and software conversations.

Selected public work
Built to support better decisions.
This portfolio intentionally includes only work that can be described publicly. Sensitive, proprietary, export-controlled, and unfinished private material is excluded.

GovOpportunity
GovOpportunity is an independently developed research and decision-support prototype exploring how small organizations can evaluate public-sector opportunities. I designed the research workflow, information architecture, front-end experience, and validation approach using public information only. This case study describes the product method—not customer engagements, contract outcomes, or non-public agency work.
Challenge
Turn fragmented procurement signals into a focused, explainable decision brief.
My role
Product framing, research workflow, information architecture, interface design, front-end development, privacy controls, and acceptance testing.
Status
Independent prototype · Public portfolio case study · Not an agency or customer endorsement
Quality bar
Authoritative-source traceability, explicit uncertainty, accessible interaction, and no hidden data collection.

Capabilities
Technical depth, connected.
01
Aerospace & systems
Mission-oriented problem framing, spacecraft and autonomy concepts, systems thinking, technical trade studies, and risk-aware communication.
02
Applied AI
Practical AI/ML evaluation, human-in-the-loop workflows, explainability, verification thinking, and responsible use in high-consequence domains.
03
Technical research
Authoritative-source discovery, evidence synthesis, competitive and award research, uncertainty tracking, and decision-ready briefs.
04
Software development
Lean web applications, accessible front ends, automation, structured validation, privacy-by-design, and maintainable documentation.
Working approach
Rigor before polish. Clarity before complexity.
The strongest technical work makes its assumptions visible, connects conclusions to evidence, and tests the path from idea to use.
Discover
Define the real decision, constraints, stakeholders, and information boundaries.
Structure
Separate evidence from inference and translate complexity into a useful model.
Build
Create the smallest credible system, tool, or research product that answers the need.
Validate
Test behavior, accessibility, failure modes, provenance, and privacy before release.
