LabVIEW-based applications for the acquisition and analysis of rocket
propellant properties.
Feb
00 - August 01. E-piphany.com.
Project Manager, Application Developer. Develop web-based applications for customer relationship management (CRM). Managed the chat integration project with the main call-center application. Other projects include: integration between Sales and Service applications using VB and BML, integration between real-time personalization and service application, and new sales application forecasting features. Technologies used: jscript, Visual Basic, HTML, SQL, XML, other proprietary tools.
Project Management:
Managed three major projects,
each involving the integration of different technologies acquired through
mergers or acquisitions. Each project
was several months in duration and consisted of team members from various departments
of the company, including: engineering (5 – 15 people), marketing & sales,
documentation, quality assurance, training, and support. I used a combination of MS Project, Visio,
and all MS Office applications [Excel, Word, Powerpoint] to manage the project. I developed an internal website to better
communicate the status of the projects and to maintain important documents
related to the projects. I initiated or
participated in design and review meetings (kickoffs, weekly, and milestones),
presenting as needed - demonstrations of project deliverables, training to
various departments on the deliverables, and communicating the needs of the
project to senior management, sponsors, and other departments. I was involved in all facets of the change
management process, from finding/understanding possible problems to
approving/integrating the changes/resolutions.
I wrote and kept up-to-date cookbooks [technical information regarding
the product, including the operation, maintenance, and possible issues with the
product] that were used by documentation, marketing, sales, and training as the
primer for their documents. I was also
responsible for presenting the final product to the sales engineers at major
company hubs.

00. Space
Systems/Loral (
Project Manager, Software Engineer. 1. Deployment products torque margin testing. Created LabVIEW application to acquire torque and angle data of solar array deployment mechanisms for purposes of testing and analysis. 2. Massive data acquisition and review/analysis system. LabVIEW program to capture 50+ channels at 1kHz continuously over 2 weeks -- data recorded exceed 1GB/day. 3. Motor driver controller software. LabVIEW program to output TTL commands to motor drivers to create custom stepping profiles. 4. Solar cell degradation analysis software. Visual Basic 6 program to compute cell degradation, original program was FORTRAN based. 5. Managed a project to upgrade/design and manufacture BTEs (Bench Top Equipment).
Project
Management: BTE upgrade project.
The purpose of this project is to re-design/upgrade a existing in-house
testing equipment and to procure for the manufacturing of the newly designed
device. As the project lead, I created
estimates for cost, schedule, and resources needed. The team consisted of a several CB (circuit
board) designers, in-house assemblers and testers, technicians (the end-users
of the device), and mechanical/electrical engineers. I used Excel to maintain schedule and costs,
conducted weekly progress meetings with key team members, presented updates to
management, and helped to train end-users of the equipment.
Jan 98 - Jul
98. Cal-Bay
Systems, Inc. (
Senior Project Engineer. Bay Model
Project. Used
LabVIEW, VBScript, SQL, ActiveX, and HTML to acquire velocity, salinity,
water-level, etc. data from over a hundred sensors, store the data in a MS
Access database and allow programmable display of the data using MS Internet
Explorer 4.0.
Project
Management: I managed small projects ranging from 40 man-hours to
several months in duration. I was
responsible for estimating the time, costs, and other needed resources, as well
as defining the scope of the project given client requirements. During the execution phase of the project, I
lead the engineering team with design/review meetings, held conference calls
with clients (all were off-site), and used Excel and other tools to track project
progress.
Dec 97 – Jan
99. Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory. (
Consultant. 1. Remote Tritium Monitoring system: Used LabVIEW and HTML to collect radiation levels from research efforts of the National Tritium Labeling Facility and enabled realtime display of the data over the internet. 2. Radioactive materials inventory system. Developed a user-friendly interface with LabVIEW and SQL to quickly maintain and update critical materials inventory.
May 96 - Dec
97. Lockheed Martin Missiles and
Space Co. (
Mechanical Engineer. Designed and implemented data acquisition and analysis systems for pulse-tube cryocooler research and development. Was partially responsible for all phases of testing from modelling of cryocoolers to assembling test setups. Was wholly responsible for performing the tests, from vibration analysis of compressors to heat transfer performances of cryocoolers. Developed novel data visualization and testing techniques which has leapfrogged the ability to understand the phenomena under research
