COMPANY: Mountaineer Consulting Inc.
ADDRESS: P.O. Box 24801, Tempe, AZ 85284-4801, USA
POSITION: Senior Technical Manager
DATES: 10th July 2000 - present
WORK (Continuation of tenure at Salt River Project (SRP)):
· Design and development on SRP in-house Outage Management System (OMS). Primary responsibility for most of the Smallworld OMS components including operational model, model build process, prediction, folder management, switching functions and inter-process/ application communication (SmallworldßàTibco and MQ, Smallworldßà.NET Remoting, SmallworldßàOracle, SmallworldßàWeb Service). Currently working on the OMS troubleshooter GPS interface replacement and the OMS interface to ABB’s capacitor control solution – RCCS. Use Magik, Java, PL/SQL and C# on a daily basis.
· Design and implementation of key functionality in the Distribution Design Automation project including; a) a novel solution to fully automated Residential Subdivision placement. After seeing this demonstrated, GE attempted to buy the intellectual property rights to this solution. b) Fully automated Small Commercial job placement. Both these solutions were integrated with Minto Spatial Solutions compatible units and engineering validations (e.g. voltage drop/flicker calcs, cable pull calcs) to ensure the lowest cost solutions that met all SRP electrical design guidelines.
· Design support, implementation guidelines and quality assurance tools for SRP’s 3.3 Migration project
· Design and implementation of SRPs SIAS (Smallworld Internet Application Server) environment. Developed Java applets to provide functionality of ActiveX components that were originally developed for SmallworldWeb. Developed additional SIAS services.
· Customization of GENS (General Electric Network Solutions) PowerOn product to support real-time switching at SRP. Customizations include dynamic shofly/jumper, pre-posted (not-yet energized) network support, extending SRP’s PowerOn model to include substation internals and much more. Mix of Visual Basic, Oracle and Smallworld development.
· RAMS (Reliability and Asset Management Project). Developed two-way interface with MAXIMO. Smallworld/Sybase linkage development in C++. Extended Smallworld Web with additional ActiveX Controls that provided Smallworld Collection and Join Field Editors with multi-user write capability.
· Technical guidance to SRP staff and troubleshooting as in previous tenure through Navigant/Geodata.
WORK (Product development for Mountaineer Consulting):
· Designed and implemented COGO (coordinate geometry) tool in Java as a product for Mountaineer Consulting. Tool is typically used to assist Surveyors and Mappers in the formal specification of building subdivisions. User interface developed in Java Swing. HTML interface developed using Servlets and JSP. Database access through JDBC. Java ActiveX Bridge used to provide developer API to COGO to enable integration of tool in other environments (e.g. Visual Basic).
