I worked on several improvement / upgrade process control projects as a core designer and a project lead. As a core, my activities included: develop, document, and review process control strategies; program and simulate process code (Dow Proprietary Mod 5, ABB, and VPLink); and installation, startup, and troubleshooting support. As a lead, I focused on scope definition, cost estimates, schedules, resource planning, and tracking progress.
