• Created grA⁺de for PDC Bits - The system is comprised of both Hardware and Software components to generate and end to end solution around grading PDC bits - Captures the wear of each used bit analyzing each cutter.
• Developed a system called RADAR - Its purpose is continually keep tract of the current states and progress of a companies individual wellbores and flag potential issues. (Ex. monitor for Active Drilling colliding with.
• Created system for processing time based drilling data into a variety metrics for KPI (Key Performance Indicators). - Metrics were then used to negotiate Rig pricing, determine Rigs to retain, and to focus efforts on.
• Developed user friendly interface for planning rig deployment and individual wellbore drilling schedules - Calculates predicted financials and merges with actually incurred cost data

• Developed a monitoring / control system primarily for oil and gas remote location applications
• Designed a complex MySQL database that stores the properties and settings of the individual units, as well as all data gathered
• Designed a web-interface that enables users to view and change the individual device settings, as well as to monitor their inventory and view the data collected by the unit in the form of a plot or downloadable csv file
• Developed a server that linked the database to the remote units, and the database to the web-interface
• Project manager
• Customer Relations

• Developed and Excel Template to determine MLE (Minimum Level of Evaluation) and MLP(Minimum Level of Production) for the bulk of Husky’s oil sand leases.
• Created Electronic Resource\Reserve Binder Proof of Concept using C#
• Fluid Movement Data Integrity Improvements: - Designed an improved user interface to reduce data entry errors and identify inconsistencies. - Proposed Upgrades to Husky’s Fluid Movement Process
• SCADA System: - Examined short-comings of the current SCADA system and proposed improvements - Developed SCADA System Demonstration Model

• Developed a comprehensive test board to verify proper manufacturing of Extreme Telematics’ main product
• This board included significant hardware and firmware development
• Worked along side the product manufacturer in testing and repairing manufacturing defects
• Designed, implemented and tested a very low power sensor that indicated the arrival of a metal “plunger” at the surface of a gas well
• Aided in the development of firmware level software for Extreme Telematics’ primary product
• Helped verify the operation and design of important sections of the electronics
