• Deep understanding of the system architecture used to guide the integration of new/old hardware and software during an automated vehicle system upgrade performed on-site at QNX.• Created a software development workflow that covers source code version management, continuous integration testing, and collaboration with partner companies. The workflow greatly improved the organization of partner collaboration.• Improved the architectural development of an automated vehicle by modelling the system architecture using architectural modelling tools. This improved the visibility of the hardware and software architecture, which helped the team discover problems earlier in design. • Directly contributed to the success of various customer demos by debugging the system and preparing it for different operation scenarios.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

• Independent design, implementation, and testing of control systems such as on-load tap controllers and remotely controlled switching equipment, which helped improve customer power quality while reducing wear on equipment.• Achieved in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of topics such as substation grounding grid design, transmission line impedance models, power system protection, and voltage regulation by applying knowledge learned from reading papers and application guides.• Procured a variety of power equipment and materials by creating and updating specifications and reviewing manufacturer drawings/documents in detail, utilizing broad knowledge of the power system and components.• Managed various projects such as the construction of a new distribution substation from the initial design stage which demonstrated great planning, organizational, and communication skills. Valuable field experience was also gained during the construction phase.• Diverse set of skills, creativity, and innovative thinking applied to create new ways of collecting system test data and automatically generating reports on power equipment.

Quispamsis, New Brunswick

• Helped organize the upkeep of a 75,000 sq. ft. multipurpose community centre by creatingsimple, clear, and concise operating procedures and preventative maintenance lists.• Cooperated with Efficiency NB to complete an innovative public education program aimed atinforming the public about the energy efficient aspects of the facility.• Improved waste management at the qplex by independently setting up a compost programwhich was well received by canteen staff and the public.• Gained hands-on troubleshooting and maintenance experience by working together with staffmembers to quickly rectify problems and keep the facility running in general.
