Enabling freight railroads and transits to achieve goals related to OpEx, Safety, and On-TimePerformance by designing and deploying robust, maintainable, and cutting edge IoT technology.Guiding customers though discovery of remote monitoring and sensor-based testing automationapplications. Integrating new components of the IoT chain with field equipment while leveragingexisting hardware, middleware systems, and backoffice enterprise ticketing and alarming systems.Working closely with railroad Signal, Telecom, Locomotive, and IT departments to manage systemsdevelopment and pilot programs to ensure a stellar customer experience.

Systems development, project management, and solutions architecture for IoT projects at freight railroads and transits.

Performed business impact assessments to support technology investment decisions. Guided a team of 10 engineers and software developers towards building building products that are impactful to railroad operations and OpEx. Arbitrated on competing interests among multiple stakeholders. Managed concurrent $250k-$2.5M capital projects related to trackside sensor technology and remote monitoring

Completed engineering and subsequent construction management and implementation of trackside sensor technology, including machine-vision-based automated railcar inspection, environmental monitoring for blow-over derailment prevention, and remote health monitoring of powered track switches and highway grade crossing equipment

Managed construction projects and maintenance programs related to trackside sensor systems that monitor passing trains for safety defects, including wheel impact load detectors, hot bearing detectors, wheel profile measurement systems, and acoustic bearing detectors

Underwent management training program, covering railroad track and signalling infrastructure maintenance/construction and effective management of a unionized workforce

Assisted engineers with a variety of projects related to hump (gravity) yard automation. Created simulator for railcar behavior in a piston-retarder hump yard based on physics first-principles. Developed system for measuring the effectiveness of piston retarders with a multi-sensor data acquisition platform and real-time data analysis software.
