North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Leading a growing team of data analysts to provide customers with compelling high resolution 3D data of their oil wells.

North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Developing machine vision algorithms and visualization techniques using downhole imaging technologies for oil and gas wells. The tools provide detailed, sub-millimetric imagery and 3D models of wells, flow profiles, completions and wellbore formations. This allows operators to maximize well production, minimize intervention costs and reduce the.

Ottawa, Canada Area

Project manager for the thermal infrared vision system, as part of the Raven module for delivery to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The sensor is mounted on the International Space Station and operated by the Satellite Servicing Projects Division, in order to test key elements of a new spacecraft autopilot system. Delivered on time and under budget.

Ottawa, Canada Area

Occupied roles of Vision Systems Engineer, lead analyst, and software lead for development of the flight certified TriDAR, to navigate the unmanned Cygnus vehicle for resupply of the ISS. Responsible for developing high-level tracking and search algorithms, formal qualification testing, performance analysis, and simulation.

Ottawa, ON

TriDAR Test Flights: Occupied roles of Vision Systems Engineer, lead analyst, and software lead for test flight of sensor to demonstrate real-time non-cooperative 6DOF embedded tracking of Space Shuttle rendezvous and docking with ISS on STS-128, 131, and 135, funded by CSA, and supported by NASA. Responsible for developing high-level tracking and search.

Ottawa, Canada Area

Occupied roles of vision systems engineer, lead analyst, test engineer, and systems engineer, for the development of a dual sensing, random access laser scanner for the purposes of real-time 6DOF tracking for rendezvous and docking of non-cooperative targets. The system was tested in all major North American Autonomous Rendezvous & Docking labs including.

Ottawa, Ontario

Discovered, developed, and analyzed a novel method of integrating type (choosing revolute vs. prismatic joints) with approximate dimensional synthesis (optimizing link length) for best approximation of rigid body planar motion (x,y,theta) in a least squares sense. Using a self-developed novel method called “reference frame correlation”, was able to reduce.

Ottawa, Ontario

Developed a machine vision system to track the arm motions in 3D and in real-time using C++. Enabled a CRS robot to be controlled remotely by the free motions of a human arm. Developed stereovision calibration system using direct linear transformation. Interfaced local and remote computer for continuous data transmission. Interfaced stereovision system and.

Burnaby, British Columbia

Prototype Development for Automating Manufacturing Processes: Designed and implemented apparatus to automate the precise stacking of fiberglass sheets. Designed and implemented apparatus to automate the liquid spraying of fibreglass sheets. Interfaced with vendors and operators.

Hannover, Germany

Camera Based Monitoring System for the Laser Welding Process: Developed means of distinguishing partial penetration from full penetration of laser welds using camera monitoring of radiation. Developed algorithms to efficiently interpret and process data.Plasma Detection for the Laser Cutting Process: Programmed a computer to control laser speed while.
