Member of market monitor team for ERCOT wholesale market.

Helped future MISO participants analyze gaps and examine issues regarding MISO integration.Developed Back Office, Mid Office and FTR Desk procedures for future MISO participants.Provided analysis regarding congestion in West Texas and developed and presented ERCOT rule changes to alleviate the issue.

Conceived and implemented algorithmic nodal market analysis products that predict congestion in the ERCOT markets, using Python and R in a cloud environment. Provided valuable sales contacts, connecting my company with all of its paying customers prior to my departure. Presented our ideas and strategies to investors and customers.

I led the Congestion Revenue Rights (CRR) group through the implementation of the CRR market. The CRR group (a.k.a. Transmission Congestion Rights - TCRs) performed monthly and annual allocations and auctions of transmission line capacity that allowed market entities to hedge their day-ahead congestion risk. This work required extensive contact with market participants to explain market rules and ensure that they were participating properly. In addition I wrote many software requirements to ensure that the tool met our needs, and performed and directed significant data analysis of very large data sets to ensure that the software was implemented correctly. I also developed process flows and procedures for the CRR group’s activities as well as internal data processing tools. In addition to the CRR work, I also worked within the Market Operations group to identify solutions to broader market problems, such as the incorrect application of energy weighted averaging to Real Time price calculation. As CRR manager I was also responsible for typical managerial duties as well, like budgeting, recruitment and personnel development.

I managed the Real Time Markets group and the Price Validation group as well as a group of Principal Engineers focused on Market Design issues. Although I was in the position for only a brief time, I resolved a major issue regarding the treatment of Options in the Day Ahead Market.

As the supervisor of the CRR group I led the group as it operated the zonal Transmission Congestion Rights market and guided the Congestion Revenue Rights project through much of development and market trials.

As a senior engineer in the CRR group I was responsible for various technical aspects of the development of the CRR market, most notably the development of the transmission model for the CRR market. I also ran the weekly market calls during market trials.

Transmission fault investigation, protection system design, relay setting.

Performed transmission studies, implemented the Real Time Voltage Stability Analysis Tool.

High level operation and demonstration of novel reticle inspection tool.

Field process engineer at White Oak Semiconductor responsible for all AMAT metal deposition tools. Assessed customer needs, performed studies to improve process performance and reduce waste, troubleshot production issues as needed.

As a member of the process training staff I was responsible for all metal deposition technology classes. I developed classes on new metal deposition technologies as they were rolled out by Applied Materials and then traveled the world (Munich, Seoul, Dresden, Singapore, Newcastle, San Jose, Burlington, etc.) to deliver those classes.
