Technical notes
Field notes from the factory floor.
Working notes I keep on power-system automation — protocols, controllers, and protection. Rough by design: these are the reference sheets I actually use, not polished deliverables. They're here because they show the depth, not the packaging.
RTAC & SEL-3620 field notes
Out-of-box setup, common applications, secure remote engineering access, and connectivity troubleshooting for the real-time automation controller.
Power automation field notes
Configuring RTAC-to-relay DNP3 comms, Modbus vs DNP3 vs IEC 61850, load-shedding logic, and diagnosing unexpected trips from event records.
IEC 61850 & GOOSE reference
GOOSE message-size calculation, control block structure, ASN.1 encoding, and the mapping between the standard and configuration tooling.
Game theory notes
Working notes on strategic decision models — equilibria, payoff structure, and where the framing applies to engineering trade-offs.
Aeroecology field notes
Handwritten study notes on radar aeroecology — tracking aerial biomass and migration with remote-sensing methods, and the measurement thinking behind them.
Client deliverables — drawings, time studies, process sheets, and design documents — live behind an NDA rather than out here. Request portfolio access →
