• Worked on a software development team responsible for building and programming Dexcent’s Integradex application, which was developed to optimize HMI management and provide standardization/consistency in HMI displays.
• Developed a TypeScript file that enabled collision handling and detection functionality for the product to meet the specifications detailed by API RP 1165 recommended practice for Pipeline SCADA Displays. This feature.
• Used p5.js to create a visualization rendering feature that highlights detected collisions on a display with a flashing gradient alert to notify operators of collision errors.
• Developed a dashboard component in the UI to provide a high-level overview of system data, which detailed display states (i.e. development, production, QA testing), display state changes, and effective data.
