• Advanced controls position with a focus on developing the next generation hardware and software solutions for GE Power heavy duty gas turbine controls.• Collect requirements from internal GE Power stakeholders and drive the development within the GE Global Research and GE Automation and Control businesses to meet GE Power’s needs.• Evaluate solutions from competitors and other internal GE businesses to direct development on platforms that fit within the GE Power market space.• Led the development of the Control Server product for GE Power utilizing virtualization technology from VMWare to deliver simplified maintenance, reduced downtime, provide a platform for high level analytics.• Stay on top of cutting-edge developments in technology through partnerships with external companies such as Intel, Dell, and Xilinx to develop roadmaps for future investment and product development that can meet customer needs and give GE Power a competitive advantage in the market. • Work directly with customers to line up technology pilots at their sites to get feedback on software and hardware before deploying to all customers.• Leading development of the next generation control server product for GE Power. Deployed a successful pilot at a customer site.• Designed and developed an advanced testing tool suite that reduced integrated platform validation from 6 months to 3 weeks.• Develop budges and track spend in coordination with product managers during yearly planning sessions and adjust as needed throughout the year.• Scrum master and engineering leader of the next generation platform team.

• Led the New Product Introduction (NPI) Controls team through the final stages of testing and validation on a $2.3 billion power plant project. Coordinated resources to support test schedules given limited plant availability. Worked jointly with project management to close out all remaining controls punch list items and documentation requirements.• Coordinate closely with project management to close out controls punch list and documentation requirements for a large Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle project in the mid-west US.• Drove changes in the plant controls OTR process to simplify controls scope, engineering processes, and improve execution speed while putting the emphasis back on software development.• Oversaw the development of Heat Recover Steam Generator standard libraries with a global team that included members from Hyderabad, Belfort, the UK, and the US. Tracked progress and adjusted scope as needed to meet deliverable dates that were required for piloting on the first two customer projects.• Designed and created a customer center for software acceptance testing that mimics customer control rooms. Iterated through the design with third party vendors and worked to a budget to create a friendly customer environment and collaboration space that allows for a full software review thereby reducing risks before deployment to customer sites.

• Led Air Separation Unit, Syngas Saturator, and Air Extraction/Diluent Injection process controls development for a large Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) project in the mid-west US.• Developed a detailed physics based simulation model in Dynsim of an Air Separation Unit to assist with controls testing and the Operator Training Simulator on the IGCC project.• Coordinated controls development activities with suppliers and held reviews with key stakeholders to improve confidence in the controls prior to commissioning.• Designed and developed software solutions in Mark VIe that met all controls requirements as defined by the controls requirement specifications.• Design and develop Human Machine Interface applications in Cimplicity HMI including a new navigation layout that would be capable of handling the 500+ screens.• Developed multiple features in Cimplicity at the customers request such as faceplate pinning and an automated screen index page.• Developed Design Practices as necessary to guide the development of future control solutions.• Led reviews required for the NPI development process including Conceptual Design Reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews, Detailed Design Reviews, Design Validation Reviews, and Special Purpose Reviews.• Worked extensively with GE Global Research during the early stages of the GE ActivePoint HMI Product development to demonstrate features incorporated into current projects that customers had requested that provided value.• Reviewed wire frame mockups and provided feedback to ActivePoint team during early development phases of the UX program.• Provided technical expertise to determine the feasibility of implementing features given our current tool set.• Took ownership of the ActivePoint navigation object and re-developed it native to Cimplicity to provide better maintainability and easier configuration going forward.• Continue to drive change and influence the design of the ActivePoint operator interface.

• Develop Controls Requirement Specifications based on inputs from system owners.• Design and develop software solutions in Mark VI/Mark VIe that meet controls requirements as defined by controls requirement specifications.• Design and develop Human Machine Interface applications in Cimplicity HMI.• Complete rigorous testing of controls on Easy 5 simulation platforms.• Modify/Develop simulation models as necessary to assist with controls testing.• Document control solutions in Design Standards for handoff from NPI to Requisition teams.•Lead/Support reviews required for the NPI development process including Conceptual Design Reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews, Detailed Design Reviews, Design Validation Reviews, and Special Purpose Reviews.

• Reviewed and updated Design Standards for Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Controls to meet current configuration.• Developed Mark VI control logic to meet the current design requirements.• Lead developer for a project in the tar sands region of Northern Alberta, CA.• Led Air Separation Unit integration with GE 7EA Gas Turbine Engine.• Create FMEAs for controls and accessory systems and work within a design cell team to resolve all potential issues before products ship to customers.• Supported the Controls New Product Introduction group.

• Developed Gas/Steam Turbine control logic for power generation applications using Allen Bradley PLC 5/Control Logix, and General Electric 90-70/90-30 PLCs.• Designed and Developed Human Machine Interface applications in Wonderware, Intellution, Cimplicity HMI, Quick Designer, RSView Supervisory Edition, and RSView Machine Edition.• Designed and developed simulation models to test control logic, and human machine interfaces.• Developed proprietary control blocks in C for implementation into PLC Logic.• Commissioned control systems and troubleshot hardware and software issues by direct contact with field personnel. • Was directly involved in the commissioning of GE Frame 5, 7, Pratt and Whitney FT4 Twin Pac’s, Westinghouse 251, 501, Rolls Royce Avon MK1533, Orenda OT-F-390, and GE Steam Turbines.
