Acknowledgments

I would like to thank everyone at Packt who I've worked closely with to make my dream come true. Thanks to the reviewers; their in-depth reviews helped improve the quality of this book.

This book would have never been possible without the encouragement from my excellent colleagues at Emirates with whom I worked with and learned from. A very special thanks goes to Neetan Chopra, Senior Vice President, and Thomas Benjamin, CTO, GE Aviation, for their constant support and help. Special thanks to Daniel Oor and Tomcy John for their help.

A heartfelt thanks goes to my wife, Saritha, for her tireless and unconditional support that helped me focus on this book. Thanks to my kids, Nikhil and Aditya. I have taken away a lot of the time that I'd spend playing with them to write this book. A huge thanks goes to my father, Ramachandran Nair, and my mother, Vasanthakumari, for their selfless support that helped me reach where I am today.
