client information source at CNIB

V Instigated the project management life cycle (PMLC) methodology in

managing various in-house project initiations, and outsourced projects

V Led the successful execution of enterprise level application upgrades,

including Raiser's Edge, ACCPAC, Webstore, and EPOS as well as the

data migration, including HRMS and payroll

V Leveraged project management expertise in integrating the CNIB's new

corporate and portal websites using SharePoint 2010, C#, and

Microsoft.NET.

V Provided expert and strategic oversight to the Engineering Team in

accomplishing and expediting the development and implementation

project (of a new transponder reader for electronic toll road

applications within the time-constrained schedule at Kapsch TrafficCOM

IVHS

V Leveraged the design and development of a comprehensive software

analysis package IRIS, using Microsoft Visual C++, MFC, and C/C++, to

perform high-speed, real-time data acquisition and analysis for

pavement and bridge decks assessment applying ground-penetrating radar

systems. Utilized key methods, including the integration of audio

detection capabilities and imaging technique through Synthetic

Aperture Radar technique. Initiated the effective replacement of the

analog front-end of the ground-penetrating radar system with a

versatile user-friendly digital interface controls. Provided

improvements to the company, which significantly reduced production

costs.

V Achieved distinction for successfully deriving a mathematical model to

describe spectral properties of the Emergency Locator Transmitter

signals, with key results endorsed by the international technical

committee of the Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking program

and have the system specifications revised
