Hi, my name is Edward.

Despite my education being in a field not traditionally associated with technology, I've always looked at tech with enthusiasm. I certainly felt an "Eureka!" moment when my first piece of code had executed properly. Fortunately, I've since written many more pieces of code that have executed!

My professional experience has been mostly with backend SQL. Namely in automation, ETL design, optimization, database design, and data processing/analytics.

The world is generating quite an impressive amount of data everyday. We need more professionals that know how to process, manage, and summarize this data to create value. I'd like to bring my best foot forward in this open application to help.

Edward's Resume 

One of the co-op student tasks was to perform daily data entry using the archaic dispatch system user interface. It was incredibly inefficient, error prone, and nigh impossible to troubleshoot should an issue ever arise. I subscribe to a continuous improvement mentality. I took it upon myself to create a new process that had the user in mind. My new process has reliably saved students roughly 1 hour every day through the improvement in data accuracy, increased robustness of the tool, and lower barrier to entry for troubleshooting.

I was the primary author of Suncor Energy's high precision GPS data processing algorithm used for their oilsand shovels and how their performance compares to the weekly plan.

I used some clever math and optimization techniques to have this process run every half hour.

Final year university project. This was a mine design exercise that spanned 2 whole semesters. The scope included everything a formal NI43-101 document would, from pre-feasibility to post reclamation.

This is definitely a project where I learned many things through hardship. Time management, goal alignment, conflict resolution, and working long-term with a dedicated team.
