Calgary, Canada Area

Design and development of technologies for various industries including product development. Area includes sensors, microcontrollers, strain gage, carbon fiber, small scale manufacturing.

Vicenza Area, Italy

Managed product specifications, designs, and execution for new technology development and integration aspects of electronics and manufacturing.

Cochrane, AB

Responsibilities include engineering aspects of development for powermeter features, fixes, and related OEM products.

Cochrane, AB

Designed and created functional prototype power meters shown publicly at Interbike 2014. Prototypes were tested by Ray Maker (dcrainmaker.com) with a favourable preview. This development required the design of a custom strain gage, analog front end (ADC), electrical schematics, PCB, mechanical housing design and firmware. Firmware development encompassed.

Cambridge, Ontario, Canada

Within the Engineering Services Project Engineering group I produced and verified technical reports relating to the Nuclear Power Generation market creating class leading products which maintain the safety and integrity of power plants.For the next generation Nuclear Power Plants based around the SMR (Small modular reactor) architecture I continued.

Cambridge, Ontario, Canada

Originated and verified ASME code based calculations using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for nuclear rated pressure vessels and in service components.Designed and conducted experiments for once through steam generators (OTSG) to make major improvements in tube tension prediction preventing buckling which has recently proven to significantly shorten.

Designed an active suspension controller through simulation (Simulink, 20-Sim) as well as developed a test apparatus to validate theoretical work using FGPA with VHDL, and AVR based microcontroller in C. Sensing ranged from transducers, magnetic sensors, linear potentiometers.

Oshawa, Ontario

Successfully managed and maintained the paint shop maintenance department tasked with preserving the operation of conveyors, robots, and environmental control systems months before bankruptcy and Chapter 11 restructuring.

Oshawa, Ontario

Consistently achieved production targets managing line workers assembling engines and wheels with less than 0.2\% error rate.Awarded financial reward under Ideas for Excellence program for inventing tooling to eliminate ergonomic issues on several jobs.

St. John's, NL

Developed a rescue prediction model using experimental data gathered during trials on the Atlantic Ocean enabling the operator of two offshore rigs to continue using only a single standby vessel when normally two are required.

St. John's, NL

Assisted with the setup of harsh environment video capture and performed motion analysis leading to improved rescue practices for 150 person inflatable life-rafts commonly used on modern super-liners.
