Worked as a leader and collaborative team member for the FlyDelta Mobile App for over two years.Project Leadership:● Led a team of four developers for the Next-Gen Flight Change project, overseeing the redesign of the app's UI, including designing new SwiftUI views, integrating new APIs, and creating automation scenarios.● Ensured the team had the necessary resources, backend services, and SwiftUI views, to meet project deadlines successfully.Innovation and Development:● Integrated non-binary gender options into the App, demonstrating a commitment to equity, inclusivity and diversity.● Designed models, view Model data, and unit tests for the PlanIt Options project, a lucrative Amex partnership which allowed customers to purchase a payment plan when booking flights.Collaboration and Communication:● Engaged directly with Delta business leaders at various levels to finalize designs and gather feedback, enhancing communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders.● Provided daily assistance and valuable insights to colleagues and new hires, contributing to the overall success of the mobile team.Bug Fixes and Revenue Impact:● Implemented critical bug fixes for pricing issues, saving the company money Customer Feedback and App Enhancement:● Spearheaded the Five-Star Project, collecting customer feedback, and providing solutions to improve the FlyDelta Mobile app's rating on the Apple App Store.Release Management and Technology Showcase:● Master of Ceremonies for iOS releases, overseeing hotfixes when necessary, and gaining critical knowledge about the iOS app store release process.● Demonstrated new iOS features and proposed ideas to team leads for leveraging emerging technologies in the app.● Showcased critical infrastructure to Delta SVPs and other key leaders, effectively breaking down highly technical concepts for non-technical professionals.

Built out an iOS application called VibeGuru, which is a social-networking application for finding night life around the city. The app tells users when and where parties or other activities are occurring around Atlanta and shows which people will be attending and what time they will be going. Users can check in and notify other users if the party or activity is fun, which will notify other people using the app, and parties/activities that are rated fun and engaging will be at the top of people's feed. The app implements stories and other user interaction similar to big-name apps like Instagram and Facebook.

Worked on one of GE Digital's cloud computing teams in Atlanta this past summer. He worked on a DevOps team that was mostly focussed on development. He was tasked with designing a lambda function in GE's AWS environment that could automate the production of Github repositories. These repositories had their own merge restrictions, read and access rights, as well as production and development branches. Dylan was able to complete the assignment and added a UI using JQuery and python to complete the lambda function. The UI was very intuitive and easy to use for non-technical people. He got very familiar with the AWS ecosystem, and is now very experienced with AWS lambda, API Gateway, s3 buckets, and even some DynamoDB.

While in school, Dylan works part-time for GE Digital's instance of Servicenow. He has learned to navigate Servicenow's platform as well as write and edit portals, create client-server scripts, resolve incidents, and helps his team located in New Orleans to continue adding in functionality to GE Digital Servicenow. The team practices scrum and agile in order to push user stories from development to production in an efficient and streamlined manner.

Over the summer, Dylan helped his team finish an iOS app that was released to both the GE and Apple app stores. The mobile app, called APM mobile, plugged into the APM (Asset Protection Management) Datacenter, and allowed operators in the field to instantly communicate with analytics teams inside APM. The application also allowed operators to notify the APM teams when a wind turbine part or parts needed to be replaced, or when steam generators or gas turbines needed repairs or if they were overheating. The whole process was streamlined in order to make everything more efficient and expedite repairs by allowing operators to assign repair jobs to people in their phones contacts or GE contacts. The previous process would take weeks to accomplish because before everything was done by email. The application increased the ease of communication between operators and APM teams and because of this, the app sped up the overall process of: getting a notification from APM that a part needs to be replaced, sending an operator out to confirm the issue, and then assigning an operator the to repair the part or to stop heat leaks for different turbines and engines.

Dylan Welch is part of the co-op program at GE Power in Atlanta. He worked on a few projects while at GE Power. The first project, TITAN, is an iOS application built using Ionic and Cordova frameworks, and the application detects heat anomalies in power plants using the FLIR Thermal Camera. The second project was designed to 3D map power plants using drone images and a software called Pix4D to analyze and form 3D models of power plants for inspection and navigational purposes. Using point cloud analytics, Dylan had to design and edit 3D models in order to get the most accurate power plant models possible. He used the point cloud editor in Pix4D that would capture the images and design a 3D model around them by displaying the images on a 3D plane.

Dylan Welch is part of the Software Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SWEAP) at GE Digital in the Central Business District of New Orleans. As part of his summer internship, he has joined a team and is tasked with designing an iOS application that uses a DJI Inspire drone to detect heat anomalies in power plants. Using infrared and visual data, the application collects information which it then uses to implement a virtual reality environment in which an operator could navigate through using the HTC Vive.
