Maintain expert knowledge of all facets of working projects Understand building plans and how they relate to field work Identify and correct potential issues with regards to legal, technical, or cost-saving issues Draft and maintain technical support documents, such as logs, material sheets, and inspection reports Communicate with working crews constantly while construction is ongoing
Conducted network analyses which led to development of novel multilayer rank aggregation model. Performed scientific studies by cleaning and wrangling 15 years of observation data utilizing R and Python. Participated in weekly meetings with primate researchers to understand research needs of client. Generated hundreds of visualizations using ggplot2 and matplotlib to write and publish Master's degree thesis.
Coordinated with contractors to lay out requirements and achieve project completion. Designed and built physical scaled models of buildings for wind testing using SolidWorks and 3D printing technology. Conducted dozens of physical tests utilizing sensitive equipment to measure effects of building construction on wind speed. Implemented improved testing methods and procedures to increase efficiency and reduce completion time by 20%. Trained five new employees in running wind tunnel.
Planned, implemented, and tested infrastructure software and hardware using Java and Python. Ensured network, system and data availability and integrity through preventative maintenance and upgrades.
