- Supports method/protocol development, testing, and deployment of laboratory automation solutions spanning various liquid handling and robotic platforms, including Hamilton, Agilent Bravo, Beckman Echo, and Tecan - Collaborates with R&D scientists to understand workflow needs, ultimately implementing (or not!) automated solutions to either build new workflows or optimize existing ones - Supports IQ/OQ/PQ activities across instrument platforms - Programming and optimization of Momentum workflows involving multi-plate assays spanning upwards of 24 hours, with the majority of said workflows enabling walkaway automation - Live troubleshooting of issues surfaced during production or thereafter, including followup root cause analysis - Builds and maintains software infrastructure to enable raw data wrangling, piping, and analytics of instrument log data stored in AWS, to gain insights into instrument uptime, method performance, and opportunity costs - Implements LIMS integrations using Python, SimpleETL DashApp, RESTful APIs, bazel build tools, vc’d using Git - 3D modelling and prototyping for development and optimization of custom integrations, interfacing with OEM systems - Provides service and support for Hamilton & Tecan systems, root cause analysis of hardware issues based in first principles, and then performing adjustments, calibrations, or part swaps as necessary - Generates extensive technical documentation, both internal & end user facing, to empower automation users and provide technical references for automation solutions released to production - Provides hands-on training to R&D scientists and ongoing technical support for automation systems users - Approaches problems with a mindset of capital and time savings across all fronts, with an emphasis on creating clear and open communication channels with project teams - Builds relationships with individuals both in and outside of collaborating teams to enhance trust across the organization

As a Development Engineer at Photon Control, I work with multidisciplinary engineering groups to develop products from concept to fruition. This includes Proof of Concept, Prototype, and Product development cycles leading to production release. My skills and responsibilities include: - Characterizing and debugging various electrical components - Accelerated Lifetime Testing (ALT) - Developing test plans, coordinating tests, collecting and analyzing data while applying statistical analysis strategies in JMP to ensure data is not compromised due to uncontrolled system variation - Designing test jigs using existing machine dimensions for ease of integration using Solidworks - Working with 3rd party contractors and consultants to define and drive scope of work - Rapid prototyping with the use of 3D printers in house to design and quickly test mechanical solutions developed in Solidworks - Optimization of optical systems - Working with corrosive environments where materials selection is an important consideration - Ensuring the design of products meet UL/CSA Safety certification when required by our customers - Interfacing with customers to collect requirements, address customer concerns, and discuss solutions in a collaborative manner - Maintaining DFMEA, PFMEA, PRODSPEC, ENGSPEC, BoM, and BoM Cost for various projects - Providing the required documentation, and training production teams on new product builds & overseeing their completion - Working with the design team to coordinate and build prototypes, determining product and prototype form factor, and coming up with the required assembly steps on an ad hoc basis - Working with machinists to ensure designs are able to be manufactured with ease - Working as Technical Lead & Project Manager for a team of multidisciplinary individuals for a 6 month long project - Coordinating builds, working directly with build teams, and making timely decisions to pivot when necessary

The Service Engineering Team at Tesla helps provide service professionals with the tools they need to quickly and efficiently diagnose issues on all Tesla models. • Aggregated all logged Model 3 signals and their respective metadata together from various sources, and automated the insertion of this data into MySQL. Additionally, automated a documentation creation method for creating articles describing Signals on the Model 3 when new signals are added. Automation involved Python, MySQL, and HTML development. • Developed a quarterly process to ensure articles maintain correctness as signals and their metadata change with time. Process involves monitoring article feedback, making changes based on feedback in source code, and then running automated scripts to update existing articles on a cron job. • Created Auto-Diagnostic networks for detecting various CAN Bus faults on the Model 3, aiding service technicians in narrowing down potential root causes for a VOR, and saving approximately $80K/month in service costs. • Updated and audited Toolbox CAN Bus Articles for technical accuracy, while providing additional information on CAN buses for technicians to utilize. • Created a CAN diagnosis cheat sheet for technicians to refer to while testing Model 3s so that all the information necessary to test and debug CAN faults is at their fingertips. • Developed various Python scripts for automating tracking of completion of Firmware metadata fields, and for automatically updating metadata fields with new content that had been updated by Product Service Experts.

Neptune Bulk Terminals is a bulk commodity handler shipping potash, fertilizers, and coal through their cutting-edge facility in the Port of Vancouver. • Was responsible for managing and overseeing work order processing and documentation, corresponding with shop foremen to ensure that project scopes were clearly defined. • Developed a company-wide CMMS while coordinating development with other departments and utilizing metadata for document control and organization. • Oversaw the project management for large capital projects on site while organizing and scheduling identified work and corresponding with contractors to ensure safety standards are maintained. • Created document naming systems, document control standards, and standard operating procedures for maintenance documentation to ensure the tracking of document revisions.

• Designed a seismic restraint to connect a 3D radar cooling cabinet to an adjacent wall to allow movement, but reduce the risk of tipping in order to adhere to industrial workplace safety standards. • Developed to manufacturer specifications, a piping schematic for coolant to be pumped through the radar cooling cabinet to ensure overheating of the cabinet does not occur. • Managed the organization of equipment to be relocated, replaced, or life cycled during the relocation of the Sail Loft Shop to the new workspace at FMF Cape Breton so that efficient work flow in the shops can continue.
