Rosemead, Ca, Us

Predictive analytics, machine learning, deep learning, and advanced analytics for Asset Management, Strategy, and Engineering in Transmission and DistributionMy work and contributions have been invaluable for wildfire mitigation efforts in the Asset Management and Risk Assessment landscape. My role consists of leveraging machine learning to provide solutions for Public Safety Power Shutdown (PSPS), risk-informed targeted infrastructure replacement with predictive models, and work bundling optimization.

Predictive modeling, machine learning, deep learning, and advanced analytics for Maintenance, Performance, and Reliability under Asset Management and Operations Support. Developed novel metrics used to analyze various aspects of grid performance during and after Major Event Days (MEDs)Utilized NLP and machine learning to extract information and classify events from long form text in unstructured data as well as from fields in various data warehouses.Developed methods for quickly analyzing Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model generated data in conjunction with grid asset data in order to inform high-risk decision making. Pioneered the use of granular WRF data to model physics interactions on overhead conductors. Modeled features provides segment-level recommendations and was used to re-imagine how work is scoped and prioritized. Solution included the development of advanced geospatial analytical tools in ArcGIS to be consumed on ArcGIS online.

• Contributed and maintained software for a multi-national, multi-institutional collaboration with cutting edge research goals. (PHENIX experiment at Brookhaven National Lab).• Developed hardware calibration software to iteratively decouple measurement offsets and errors.• Analyzed very large data sets (~11 billion events, approx 1 petabyte/year scale) consisting of dozens of features using the physics data analysis framework ROOT (similar to the SciPy stack or MATLAB).• Organized sets of physics features collected from various detectors by validating data quality and transforming it into indexed data structures to prepare for analysis. • Used Gaussian mixture modeling to separate overlapping statistical distributions of particles allowing for the analysis of each particle species independently.• Modeled the statistical variance of these signals over increasing momenta using polynomial models.• Modeled the spatial and momentum distribution of detected particles using Fourier decomposition.• Validated theoretical models by comparing them to Monte Carlo simulated data in order to minimize residuals.• Corrected biases in data caused by systematic errors to verify model behavior apart from measurement bias and fluctuations.• Handled computationally intense analysis using distributed computing.

Custom musical arrangements and charting of these arrangements of contemporary worship songs. Performing on guitar and vocals to lead in congregational singing for two services weekly.
