Saskatoon Light and Power

It is very complicated but basically I provide communications from field devices to SCADA (OMS) and everything in between.

During my time I have upgraded every part of the SCADA system and upgraded it to a OMS (Outage Management System).  Along the way I have worked on improving security using NIST 800-82 as a guide.

Managing various controls and or communications projects from start to finish to improve SCADA and security.

Lots of trips to Canadian and American installations.  Any where between Fort Providence NWT to Nogales Arizona.  Both those sites are probably the most interesting sites to visit as well.  Each had there on unique dangers.

Travelled to Bahamas in 2007 to upgrade AVI system at Bridge to Atlantis.

Travelled to Thailand in 2008 to troubleshoot several new weigh stations. 

Travelled to China in 2008 to help install PAT bending plates.

During my time at IRD I visited almost every US State.  What a great adventure.

Field Applications Specialist

Primary task was taking care of Kentucky's Advantage CVO AVI system at 15 weighstations, installations, upgrades and maintenance. Worked closely with the Kentucky Transportation Center ITS department.

The DCS system consisted of Advanced Vehicle Identification (AVI) equipment at three locations, Advanced, In Cab Notification and Bypass.  AVI equipment was built by Hugh's Aircraft and consisted of a radio card and industrial pc.  Communications was a mix of 900MHz radio (MDS 9810), RS422, mulitmode fiber.   Weigh station display was Win NT machine running Advantage CVO software.

Maintained various weigh in motion data collection sites in Kentucky.  Did bi-annual maintenance on scales on I-275.  Sorry if I slowed down your commute.

Helped other IRD staff with weigh in motion data collection sites in various states as needed.  

Helped with AVI installs and troubleshooting in various states as needed.  Most notable was Sioux Falls South Dakota doing Heliax terminations in -20c.

This is where I learned to work independently as my closest co-workers were in Indianapolis and my supervisor was in Atlanta.  If I wasn't getting it done, it wasn't getting done.

Field Rep (Kentucky)

Celebrating over 20 years of ICS/OT automation experience.

Strong project planning, stakeholder engagement, project documentation,  project phasing, system integration, system testing and commissioning.

The past 10 years I have been working hard on learning about ICS/OT Cyber Security to help make the best decisions.  Good ICS/OT Cyber security starts with proper system architecture.  

My hobbies are around microprocessors, programming and building.  I'm currently working on my fourth automated Halloween Candy Machine.  I have a 3D printer and a small CNC which I use for my projects.
