- Led the design and user interface capture initiatives to develop and implement a safety dashboard with real time metrics of risk behavior which led to fewer unsafe acts.- Co-led an effort to calculate tree height and crown width and also identified 3D (Dead, Diseased and Decayed) trees using remote sensing and LiDAR data for vegetation management.- Conceptualized and led the development of project tracker dashboard for real time status on construction, vegetation, environmental and real estate work. Automated email notification to the project team on alert information.- Conducted site suitability analysis for Business Development Executive department.- Conceptualized and led the development of web-based survey forms for scoring contractors on transmission projects, including capturing user requirements and improving user interface.- Presented GIS tools (data collection and reporting) and initiatives to the leadership of various departments.- Worked with various departments and team members to design, test, deploy, and support spatial tools and provide valuable analysis of spatial data.- Trained undergraduate interns, coworkers and contractors in the use of ESRI tools and applications.

- Led design and implementation initiatives to create electronic 2U form (departmental approval form for energizing line) with automated email notification (President's Excellence Award).- Facilitated, coordinated and carried out conversion of more than 30 different paper forms/audits into electronic smart forms (using Survey123 for ArcGIS application) with automated email notification for - - Transmission Safety, Vegetation, Construction, Line Design and Maintenance departments. Huge institutional change gathering buy-in and stakeholder needs.- Piloted and instituted offline maps for Collector for ArcGIS and Explorer for ArcGIS mobile applications.- Created ground vegetation patrol application for transmission lines, initializing an organizational change driving toward digitalization.- Created transmission routing programming utilizing ArcGIS framework culminating in the identification of a transmission line route for McLean Reliability Project.

- Managed and developed a new transmission line routing methodology that is now being used to recommend line routing alternatives, a project that is usually contracted out, resulting in time and cost savings.- Designed schema, domains, tables and feature dataset for field data collection and transmission assets inspection. - Developed, initiated and customized ESRI mobile applications (Collector for ArcGIS and Survey123 for ArcGIS) and web maps for overhead electric transmission structure access and inspection. Over 200 projects now use these applications and maps.- Initiated the use of ESRI's Data Driven Pages (MapBooks) to display field acquired information for construction bidding processes on overhead electric transmission lines.
