Marcus Gollahon — PSA First Officer, educator, and developer

Marcus Gollahon

✈️ First Officer, PSA Airlines (CRJ-700/900)💻 Developer & Educator

Building CFIPros. An ACS-aligned study guides and training tools for pilots. Current CFI and airline pilot, and developer who values procedures, clarity, and systems that work.

Dual-Track Background

I fly, teach, and build. I am a First Officer on the CRJ-700/900 at PSA Airlines, a current CFI, and a developer working on CFIPros. I write practical training material and build tools that help pilots, instructors, and flight schools.

Aviation

I fly the CRJ-700/900 on the line and I still instruct. Airline flying keeps me sharp on briefs, flows, checklists, and crew coordination. Instructing keeps me close to how people learn and where training breaks down. I focus on procedures, systems knowledge, and clear debriefs that improve the next flight.

Web Development

I build web tools with TypeScript, Next.js, FastAPI, Supabase, Tailwind, and Prisma. I keep architectures simple, types clear, and boundaries clean. I use reviews, basic tests, and monitoring so problems are visible and fixes are quick.

I also maintain my Claude Code workflow called Spec-Flow. It documents how I plan features, write specs, ship code, and debrief work with AI support.

This Website

Here you will find training notes, study-guide chapters, AKTR insights, and build logs from CFIPros. Posts are short and practical. I update pages when I learn something new so the content stays useful.

  • Student pilots get plain language study material and checkride-ready focus.
  • CFIs get tools and workflows that save time on endorsements and logbook hygiene.

Beyond the Flight Deck and Code

I am a husband and dad of two. Family comes first. I am a Texas A&M fan and enjoy college football. Most free time goes to family, reading, and planning the next project.
