Lead Technical Manager

Responsibilities:

• Managing, designing, and coordinating the development of a large, multi-faceted, distributed enterprise visualization system for the Utilities industry.
• This mission critical system aggregates data and orchestrates tasks through multiple legacy applications, reducing dispatcher effort and making them more efficient at managing utilities markets and maintaining grid reliability.
• Designed and implemented a plan for a company-wide shift in development practices.
• Analyzed and designed distributed models and solutions for cloud-based architectures, specifically Amazon's EC2, AWS, Microsoft's Azure Services, Google Cloud Services, and Oracle's PaaS/SaaS.

• Security Constraint Economic Dispatch (SCED) is one of the critical applications used by dispatchers in the PJM control room, ad remains the flagship subsystem in the UEV system. SCED is the primary application used by PJM generation dispatchers to monitor and approve cases which dispatch and commit energy from member company units based on reliability-dependent information and pricing.
• Ancillary Markets are an addendum subsystem to SCED, complementing its data and many features but delivered and maintained separately in UEV. This system is the primary application used by PJM generation dispatchers to dispatch and commit member company units for both Regulation and Reserves.
• Intelligent Event Processing (IEP) is a complex, multifaceted event aggregator and interpreter that collects data from a vast number of realtime reliability alarms and deduces broader-scoped events for PJM's reliability a power dispatchers. The UEP system was written for the Java platform but leverages UEV's enterprise, cross-platform components to deliver a stable user interface.
• Met with senior management and company leaders to affirm the broad project vision and map out an effective project path
