In my role, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze, design, and implement data models that align with business requirements and industry standards. I am proficient in translating complex schemas, profiles, and instance data, and have a track record of driving data-driven decision-making within organizations. With an understanding of CIM (Common Information Model) as well as related technology, standards, and best practices, I develop software and engineer data models that support the efficient and effective management of energy-industry resources. This aligns with my personal interest and goals of contributing to a more sustainable future.I am committed to staying abreast of the latest developments in data architecture and energy industry trends, and I am constantly seeking out opportunities to enhance my skills and knowledge. I am a collaborative team player who thrives in dynamic environments and is dedicated to delivering high-quality solutions that drive business success.

Over time at OSI I've held the following roles and responsibilities: As a Systems Engineer, I tested our multi-server systems, developed and executed high user-count tests to really push our software to its limits, and build up our test library. Simultaneously, I developed multiple custom applications for internal and external use to further enable testing, inform teams of our product changes, and generally maintain departmental knowledge.On the conversions and builds team, I quickly became a lead developer to rebuild existing databases, displays, historical archives, and other vital infrastructure for clients. I continued to contribute to custom applications but began to focus more on the customer needs rather than internal needs, ultimately becoming a supervisor of the conversions team and our new department, Project Development. Project Development interacted with almost all new projects coming through the company, so we found new ways to build custom solutions quickly, while maintaining our own stable architecture which plugged neatly into the target architecture of the company overall.During the next couple of years, we saw lots of changes from business reorganization and company ownership changing. This has all been to facilitate growth in our organization and industry. OSI has always been about operations technology and is at its heart a software company. Now, under AspenTech, we continue to build and grow. My current role is Senior Project Engineer, in Professional Services. We are delivering complex, multi-year projects to meet the needs of international clients. As a technical project and product owner in the model management space in particular, I am excited to see what is next for the company.

With degrees well under way in Physics and Journalism, my professors offered me the lead role of our departmental newsletter, website, and other opportunities. I got to experience firsthand the necessity of strong scientific journalistic communication and the positive impact it can have on a community.

Leading and developing programs for the MWA Planetarium at the University of Minnesota Duluth was a dream come true. I shared deep knowledge of physics to all age groups, lead a team of excellent student program assistants, and managed the facilities and finances. The departmental ownership changed during my time, and I ensured there was no gap in our offerings. We oversaw major anniversaries of the planetarium. Worked with local scientific groups, student groups, and committees to provide mobile dome shows around Duluth.

Starting as a Dental Lab Technician, I managed all aspects of day-to-day processes in the dental lab industry. 3D scanning, modeling, printing or milling, and post-processing a variety of parts used for patients and dentists.This expanded to general lab work in the 3D printing industry, well beyond that of peers my age. I keep up with and remain proficient in many of the techniques used in the CAD/CAM world.
