Calgary, Alberta, Canada

• Specialized on seismic data analysis and inversion for oil and gas reservoir characterization; provided advice to programmers for solving software problems.• Developed interactive seismic amplitude spectrum and spectral decomposition analysis tools to help users reduce time spent on reconnaissance tasks using frequency attributes.• Developed an interactive Parabolic Radon Transform analysis tool to make parameter testing simpler for end users.

Calgary, Canada Area

• Designed, implemented, and marketed a new workflow with native depth domain well log correlation and inversion in STRATA, a pre-stack seismic inversion software, saving user efforts required to perform depth-to-time and time-to-depth conversion of input seismic data.• Achieved 2 to 4 times reduction in conjugated gradient inversion time per CPU thread by incorporating GPU in STRATA for speed performance improvement. • Working with two senior programmers, modernized the user interface and refactored the software structure of MapPredict, a geostatistical analysis and mapping program, to allow streamlined data integration of well log and seismic data for users.• Reviewed user requests and complaints, and provided suggestions to programmers for solving issues on multiple products including STRATA, MapPredict, ProMC (multi-component seismic inversion), and AVO (amplitude versus offset analysis and modeling). Helped the company to maximize programming resources.

Calgary

• Managed the Hampson-Russell software development team in Calgary by providing direct guidance to 26 product leads and programmers, and serving as a liaison amongst research geoscientists, technical support, technical advisors, and the sales team.• Organized software patch updates every six months, and major software upgrades every one and a half years; presented clients with such updates at user meetings globally at different regions. • Launched a major software release: modernized the front-end graphic interface with a Qt rewrite to improve user practicality and restructured the back-end data processing engine with a client-server multi-threaded environment to improve software performance by at least 5 times on a single CPU machine.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

• Led the team for STRATA through closely managing 3 junior programmers; collaborated with other development teams to streamline the workflow between STRATA and other Hampson-Russell products.• Improved the product knowledge of clients by providing them with technical guidance through site visits and personalized 1-on-1 telephone support.• Determined the prioritization of software upgrades and user requests through discussions with senior management, research scientists and marketers.

Hong Kong, China

• Established a local technical support and marketing presence to clients in countries like China, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, and Bangkok by opening an Asia-Pacific office; organized trade shows in those countries with local agents.• Designed the user interface around the algorithms for MapPredict to allow easy integration of well log and seismic data for users.• Developed 3D Strata Model, a dynamic well log property model with stratigraphic layers, to allow instantaneous model updates upon data editing.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

• Collaborated with 3 other programmers and 1 key geoscientist to design, implement, and develop STRATA, one of the first seismic inversion programs for PC.• Implemented one of the industry’s first versions of interactive Log Correlation, a well-to-seismic tying program. • Provided maintenance and technical support for GLI3D, a refraction statics program on mainframe computer.
