Work Experience

AUG 2012 – present GE Oil & Gas – Subsea Systems: Application Physicist; Oxford, United Kingdom

• Successfully optimized existing outdated numerical methods using MatLab scripting language and dramatically reduced the time taking by existing legacy code.

• Have successfully used statistical multivariate calculus to gain insight on hitherto unknown temperature effects in hardware located in Brazil in the UK.

• Successfully developed novel signal processing algorithm which drastically reduced time taken by existing legacy code by a factor of 10 and successfully implemented the technique for equipment deployed in the previously mentioned locations.

• Have extensive experience implementing advanced data miming and statistical techniques such as multivariate linear regression hypothesis functions, K-Means clustering.

• Consolidated company-wide hardware tests and generated statistical insight that enabled quantitative evaluation of hardware performance.

• Field tested high-precision instruments at various sites and on an offshore installation.

• Simultaneously process, coordinate and manage data from multiple offshore and onshore projects across the North Sea, Brazil and the UK.

AUG 2011 – FEB 2012 Polaris Financial Technology: Design Analyst; Internal Automation; Chennai, India

• Collaborated as part of a think tank to design a company-wide project management tool.

• Responsible for drafting the company’s project charter and helped capture the business and technical (architecture) requirements through to Go Live date.

• In charge customer support and help-desk during initial phase after go-live date

• Successfully delivered workshops to senior management on how to use the product. Designed and wrote the user’s FAQ and user’s reference manual.

APR 2011 – MAY 2011 Etrilum – Silk Ventures Group: Intern; Green Technology; Shanghai, China

• Researched the pros and cons of modern LED luminaires.

• Designed presentations for clients to inform them of product the cost benefits.
