Project Manager. Provided architectural design and implementation over three years, of a $2 million LAN and WAN connectioning remote sites.
Member of IIA (Institute of Internal Auditors) and ISACA
Master of Science in Engineering, (Electrical), Queen's University
Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Honours (Electrical), Queen's University
Thesis: "Design, Implementation and Experimental Results of Robotic Environment Input into the Robot Controller Test Station (RCTS)". Investigated real-time control of dual robotic arms from sensor inputs on a PLC and an integrated computer network. The system was modeled, simulated, and experimentally proven.
