Maintained multiple configurations for ECL devices (Nuclear Control Room plus multiple in-process Engineering Changes) for testing and regulatory modification changes to the Control Room. Develop tools and processes to better maintain multiple configurations for different vendors and business units for deconfliction of modification testing among vendors and ‘In-House’ departments.Oversaw the schedule of upcoming Engineering Changes (EC) and prioritized access to the ECL as it was the only Lab Asset available while multiple units required modification testing.Worked with vendors to implement changes for upcoming EC’s.Set Microsoft (Active Directory) / 3rd Party Software (VSphere,Veeam) proprietary software and configurations for each business unit-vendor as required to support each discrete modification or test.Performed OS migrations, Patches, and upgrades per Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements for continued compliance and operations.
