Lead Business Analyst, Information Technology • 26 years experience in data communications, analysis and presentation; data center operations; end-user training and support; and operator–machine interface design in a real-time mission critical environment. • Responsible for all Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition system operations, maintenance, and support, and led a team that successfully supported SCADA for over 15 years with near 100% availability. • Provided 24x7 support for gas control, measurement and pipeline modeling applications and users on Windows, VMS and SunOS platforms. Remotely supported field personnel in four states and the Gulf of Mexico with installation and troubleshooting of communications links, as well as PC issues. • Recognized for comprehensive knowledge of pipeline operations and gas flow dynamics gained from ten years as Gas Controller and Gas Control Analyst. • Excellent analysis, writing and computer skills, including website design and Microsoft Office applications.
EXPERIENCE • Columbia Gulf Transmission Co., Houston, Texas 1987-2003 • Team Lead, Lead IT Analyst, and Systems Analyst for Real-time Systems • Lead Business Analyst for gas control, measurement, modeling and technical services teams, integrating real-time pipeline data with business applications and providing primary IT support. • Provided 24x7 technical support and training of integrated gas control, measurement verification and transient/steady-state model applications and systems. Thorough understanding of process and architecture permitted rapid troubleshooting and resolution of problems. • Performed database configuration of compressor station and flow measurement telemetry. In 2003, successfully managed the SCADA side of a compressor station automation project that allows unattended operation of compressors in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky by Houston-based Gas Controllers. • Designed, built and maintained operator interface screens used by gas control, measurement and field personnel. • Designed screens interfacing real-time data into the company Intranet, permitting maintenance technicians to remotely monitor and troubleshoot communications failures, reducing costly site visits and after-hours callouts. • (continued)
Frame Relay SCADA Overview Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition This training tool illustrates how the SCADA system broadcasts a data request, and only the device with the correct address responds. Normally, of course, such scans are automatically triggered on a set schedule or by specific events. Dozens or even hundreds of devices can be scanned simultaneously, and at frequencies ranging from seconds to weeks. * * * The ‘Scan’ button at the lower right will force a new “scan”.
