ELP is life estimation software developed by and for Baker Hughes for theirdrilling assemblies. This software predicts the life and reliability drilling tools used by the company. Life prediction provides a cutting-edge way to identify precursors to costly failures in the field and offers proactive guidance during maintenance periods for parts may otherwise have been disregarded based strictly on procedure. Statistical models that relate operating environment to life of the component and are derived from failure data of fielded components, introduce a new way to optimize the efficiency of drilling tools.

integrating the system, the Global Data System software was written.

 

Responsibilities:

·         Developing a very detailed understanding of all the design programs and scripts for the applications.

·         Migrating the tools – viz. modifying the make files & scripts for newer compiler, modifying the source code to support the new compiler.

·         Internal testing, User Acceptance testing.

·         Lead the development team of 5 people working on porting projects in windows.

·         Organize and provide a catalogue of the many variables,

·         Simplify file input/output, and

·         Provide generic procedures for data viewing, editing, interpolation and comparison

·         Make the code more generic for future modifications.

·         Porting of C, C++ code from older compilers to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 32-bit applications to Linux 64 bit applications.

·         Porting of FORTRAN code from earlier Compaq compilers to Intel Fortran 9.1/11.1 32-bit applications to Linux 64 bit applications and libraries).

·         Changes were made to overcome the memory issues with regards to the bad programming practices, and other size changes to the data structures.

·         Development of testing framework and automation using with Python,

DS1 Reciprocating Compressor NPI Automation

The DS1 Reciprocating Compressor NPI project implies a single bearing motor application where the driven

equipment supports the drive end portion of the motor shafting.  These motors drive reciprocating compressors

used in the Petrochemical Industry.  Several new features were incorporated as a part of the NPI.  The Automation

team developed design programs to ensure that the Engineering team works with controlled and tested software

that is reflective of the Engineering Design Standards.  Further, the design programs also serve as a

communication platform for creating and releasing the input files used to regenerate the parametrically driven

Pro/Engineer models.

 

Responsibilities:

·         Developing a very detailed understanding of all the design programs.

·         Automation of the engineering design programs.

·         Implementation of new source change requests that were ongoing, (i.e. whenever a new idea (engineering designs) was proposed, it had to be implemented and integrated in the available software and corresponding user document Webpages updated.

·         Migration of Design Programs – viz.

o   Understand existing design logic by going through the code.

o   Read the I/P’s to programs from NML files,

o   Create User Derived Data Types in FORTRAN to store output data.

·         Work on SCR’s (source change request). Which involved working on Perl, Python, PHP and Shell Scripting

·         Internal testing, Requesting the customer for user level testing.

ASPL Database Migration:

This project was implemented using agile methodology. ASPL is really a suite of programs tied together with a

common user interface, database, and graphical display package. It is used by engineers and drafters to design the

steam path of a turbine, analyze the design, display a graphical representation of the turbine layout, and create

drawings for manufacturing the various turbine parts. But there are also programs outside of ASPL that are used

in the areas of proposal generation, development of new designs, and manufacturing.

Our team headed by me at the client side successfully completed the migration activity (from existing Database Sybase ASE12.5 server to Oracle 11g). Following activities were accomplished during this project.

 

Responsibilities:

·         Leading the migration activity.

·         Responsible for entire data migration from Sybase ASE server to Oracle

·         Migration of API code written for Sybase to Oracle.

·         Overlook the migration activity of PL/SQL programs

·         Migration of the Perl and shell scripting code written to access/modify database content.

·         Migration of the PL/SQL code from Sybase to Oracle.

·         Migration of the data contained in the earlier ASPL Database from Sybase to Oracle.

·         Migrate the Libraries written using Sybase API’s to Oracle’s OCCI API’s

·         Automation of testing using Python.

Bucket Detail System (BDS)

BDS migration activity was unsuccessfully tried with many different global teams from our client over a period of 15 years before it came to our team. Our team was successful in migrating the tool to a new platform and with that gave huge savings (~1M/yr.) to GE spent on maintenance of the legacy tool. I was involved with this project right from the designing phase till the project was successfully ported on a new server.

BDS is a suite of programs tied together with a common user interface (Python), database (SQLite), and graphical display package (Java). BDS contains all the design logic that is required to create a bucket for a turbine. The original code was written in completely in FORTRAN and was placed under BULL operating system and did not contain any database, so all the data was stored into flat file. We designed a new architecture and migration of the code from Fortran-66 to multiple languages (FORTRAN-95 and Python) and the file data was moved a new database along with designing architecture for the database.

 

Responsibilities:

• Read and understand the design logic of old FORTRAN programs and implementing the same using multiple languages.
• Learn how to work on BULL operating system.
• Learn new JCL scripting language used in the BULL operating system.
• Implement the User Interface using Java swings
• Design of Database tables and writing new SQL scripts.
• Write a wrapper program in Python to automate the entire process like running different executables of FORTAN and call the Java swing program.
• Integration testing of all the modules.
• Automation of the entire testing using Python.
• Mentoring team members about the new designs being implemented

 

Environment: Python2.7, Shell Scripting, C, FORTRAN, JCL, SQLite, Ant, BULL OS, Windows, Linux, SQ Lite 3.

ASPL is a suite of engineering design programs tied together with a common user interface. It is used by engineers and drafters to design the steam path of a turbine, analyze the design, display a graphical representation of the turbine layout, and create drawings for manufacturing the various turbine parts. But there are also programs outside of ASPL that are used in the areas of proposal generation, development of new designs, and manufacturing.

Scope of work included the migration of the entire programs from HP-UX to Solaris along with handling new enhancements that the user requested.

 

Responsibilities:

·         Leading the migration activity of Application HP to HP-UX to Solaris,

·         Automation of testing process using Perl scripting.

·         Mentoring team members on designing the application.

·         Writing new SQL scripts, Internal Testing of code for outputs, and Regression Testing.
