I have experience in leading small teams and working with cross-functional teams in the development of nuclear automation software to meet aggressive schedules. I managed software tasks to allow a local team and a team in China to operate seamlessly.
- Develop standard DCIS virtualization platform used to upgrade nuclear power plant control systems. - Supervise System Admins in maintaining and developing DCIS development and production systems. - Develop AI solutions, standardize design processes, develop CI/CD process for nuclear automation projects.
Provide rapid solutions for DCIS issues during AP1000 plant construction, startup, and commissioning activities to ensure milestones are achieved. Aligned separate spreadsheets by developing a database in SharePoint to manage change drivers and align them to a release cycle. Increased productivity and reduced errors by creating a central point of focus. Automated DCIS data validation by creating a Python script to compare XML files and database exports, reducing review time from hours to minutes and eliminating errors. Streamlined software release management by developing a Python script to track changes, determine installation order, and generate loading instructions, mitigating overwrite risks and improving efficiency.
Provide rapid solutions for DCIS issues during AP1000 plant construction, startup, and commissioning at 4 sites in China. Led team of onshore and offshore DCIS team in the rapid resolution of site issues. Collaborated with multi-disciplined departments to resolve complex design changes to complete site commissioning of the first AP1000 plants. Developed DCIS project proposals for design changes. Created procedure to perform a health check on the DCIS during planned outages. Created procedure to perform a health check on the DCIS during planned outages.
Analyzed fuel usage data from the field, simulations, and trial runs to support the Trip Optimizer fuel saving program to compare with customer provided data. This data was used to provide evidence of fuel savings for a first of a kind product. Analyzed Distributed Power data to determine locomotive performance Wrote Design Guidelines for Fuel Calculation Methods
Proactively managed obsolescence issues Determined if RoHS alternative components met reliability requirements Found alternative parts to obsolete parts and parts with rising costs
