      My role was to design and deliver training programs to varsity and international athletes, to conduct occupational/field physiological tests, and to collaborate with various sport scientists and coaches. During my acting role, I coordinated events and advanced exercise testing, I recruited and trained new staff, and I managed a budget and a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals.

      Developer, Researcher and Lab Coordinator

      I developed Oracle APEX applications to collect operational data and developed a visually appealing custom dashbaord featuring Polar Area and Doughnut charts, along with custom-coded Speed-o-Meter, Thermometer, and Bubble Map visualizations using JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. I also developed the architecture framework for a Data Science centre initiative which I am the Technical Lead on the design and development of the project aiming to establish a centre of expertise to harness the power of data and AI to ensure optimal readiness of members and enhance overall military operations. As a researcher, I would first develop research hypotheses, designs, and methodologies for military field research projects. I would then plan and coordinate national or international field data collections including travel, transport of research equipment, and coordinate specific training for team members. Upon my return, I would ingest the data into the research database and perform statistical analysis to finally write a technical report and brief the results to the Chain of Command. In addition, I would be in charge of procurement and financial transactions on our team, create and maintain the laboratory inventory database, and create standard operating procedures. Show less
