Sample activities include:

• Development and curation of remote sensing meteorological and asset health data pipelines to support the development of prediction of electric distribution equipment failure before it occurs.
• Development and productionalization of supervised and unsupervised machine learning models using Python and executed in Foundry or AWS
• Interpretation and representation of data in models that combine a range of data sources such as the electric system asset data, vegetation, and meteorology.
