Team Leader/Senior Developer

This was an exciting time in the history of Hyprotech.  HYSYS was the first commercial object oriented steady state and dynamic simulator.   When I left Hyprotech I was responsible for approximately 180,000 lines of C++, of which I estimate that I wrote half of that.  This was the distillation column algorithms portion of HYSYS.

·        Team leader for the HYSYS Steady State Development Group (2 years).  Managed a team of 4-6 engineers developing engineering software in C++ for performing steady state refinery calculations.

·        Responsible for performance reviews and salary increases while performing team leader role.

·        Estimated project time for short, medium and long term projects.

·        Developed an object oriented equation solver using Newton’s Method to solve large sets of sparse non-linear equations.

·        Developed distillation algorithms for solving 2 liquid phase ‘chemical’ distillation problems.

·        Developed distillation algorithms for solving reactive distillation problems.

·        Traveled internationally making technical presentations at conferences and to clients
