Résumé

Glendale, CA · Shanghai, China

• Developed large PLC software (1500+ I/O points) for a state-of-the-art, high-throughput roller coaster at Shanghai Disneyland.
• Led a team of engineers and operators to coordinate testing and adjustment of a safety-critical control system in a foreign, dynamic, and time-sensitive environment.
• Designed and implemented a park-wide HMI system and managed a successful migration of responsibilities to a local engineer while maintaining consistency and scope.
• Wrote detailed test documentation, managed the version-control system, and maintained auxiliary SCADA systems.

Glendale, CA

• Received training in HMI systems and designed HMI control consoles for park-wide implementation.
• Oversaw hardware mock-ups to test industrial sensors in special-effects environments.
• Created operator-console layouts in AutoCAD to specification and standards.
• Researched and recommended proximity-sensor selection and implementation with vendors.

Canoga Park, CA

• Designed new and existing digital circuit sections and internal test circuits.
