Technician III / Project Manager

• May 2008 - Mar 2018

- Asphalt Strain Gage Project Manager- Implemented various types of data acquisition systems as well as reduced and analyzed acquired data.- Manage a calibration database and designed VBA macro to sort items. The macro gave devices urgency codes that were then tallied and then sent in an email monthly along with the spreadsheet.- Managed a team to fabricate pavement sensors that are used by various universities, DOT’s, and private research firms around the world to develop new types of asphalt mixes.- Dynamic testing of train bolsters, side frames, couplers, fasteners and bridge stay cables with closed loop servo hydraulic systems using MTS 407 / Flex Test controllers.- Designed and implemented a wireless temperature / humidity logging system to regulate laboratory test environments. - Managed a Linux based MySQL database that stored data for 800 sensors that monitored a bridge’s structure while a super structure was being built around it. - Designated a File Maker database where mortar mix setting times were entering which auto generated schedules testing for specimens. The database was designed to be used with IPad which replaced the old system of logging data in books. - Advised engineers on selecting data acquisition and instrumentation. Show less
