I am a Project Manager at Teledyne FLIR and a recent graduate from the Biomedical Engineering program at UVic. I have a passion for technology and continued learning, and my main interest is the integration of software with mechanical/electrical systems. In my free time I enjoy hiking and skiing with my dog, playing soccer/hockey, bouldering, and reading.

Professional Experience

Project Manager
Teledyne FLIR (2019-present)

Traveled internationally (USA, Europe, Middle East, Asia) to facilitate multi-million-dollar system configuration and acceptance with customers. Managed developer efforts and tested various 3rd party devices and systems including radars, cameras, fiber optic fences, and access control systems. Worked closely with software development, Q/A, and support teams to ensure customer requirements were met and project deliverables were on time and within budget. Developed .NET GUI Windows utilities to assist colleagues with tasks such as drop file management, radar device simulation, and note taking. Wrote functional specification documents outlining new features and training documentation. 

Research Programmer Intern
University of Nottingham (2018-2019)

The roles main responsibility was with assisting with the research of postgraduate students by developing MATLAB software used for tracking individual bacteria cells motility on various bio-materials. The software aimed to automate much of the workflow and perform classification of the various possible swimming patterns that could be present in bacteria samples. The GUI analysis software was released on GitHub for public use.

Research Assistant
University of Victoria (2016-2018)

Developed instrumentation devices and software used for data collection and analysis. Software langues primarily used for GUI and analysis were LabVIEW or Python. Instrumentation devices were developed using Arduino micro-controllers and C. Assisted graduate student's research by performing experiment setups, data collection, analysis, writing. Implemented automated scripts (Python and AppleScript) to significantly improve data processes which previously had to be manually performed across hundreds of Excel spreadsheets.
