• Sr. Research Scientist and Technical Advisor

  • Nov 2019 - Present

  • Moved from Processing Technical Manager to Sr. Research Scientist in order to focus more on improving the core technology.• Inter-departmental collaboration and communication.• Small-scale software development and data visualizations in Python to analyze workflow and data (Pandas, NumPy, Seaborn, Matplotlib).• Signal processing, data visualization, workflow optimization.• Process high frequency downhole acceleration data for geomechanics.

• Processing Technical Manager

  • Oct 2018 - Nov 2019

  • Small-scale python development for data visualization, processing, and analysis.• QC/QA of all pre-processing and post-processing data quality reviews.• Processing-workflow development, automation, and optimization.• Worked closely with R&D on developing quantitative, optimized, and automated processing workflows. • Managed a team of processors and ensured that project data was high quality and delivered on time.

• Research and Development, Sr. Data Scientist / Processing Technical Advisor

  • Oct 2016 - Oct 2018

  • Involved in small-scale software development in Python to improve coworkers’ day-to-day productivity and products. • QC/QA of all pre-processing and post-processing data quality reviews.• Development and implementation of state-of-the-art drill-bit geomechanics theory, in-house software development, and processing workflows.• Promoted to technical advisor due to outstanding critical thinking skills, initiative to drive improved results, the ability to think outside the box, and motivation to produce quick turnarounds on difficult datasets. • Objectively driven, interfaced directly with lead software developers on practical implementation of processing needs and technology. • Applied and developed new scientific theory and signal processing to deliver improved client data, resulting in excess of $100K in additional sales.• Pursued multiple approaches to noise-rich data to achieve solutions which a significant client validated and deemed exceptional. This resulted in more contracts.• Proved the value of geomechanical data through detailed multi-well processing, which led to FID monitoring of every well drilled by a significant client.• Cut time to deliver results to client from 10 days to 7 days which fit into clients’ operation schedules. This doubled client purchases, equating to more than $400K in revenue per month.
