Edwin An Overview

A photo of me

This web-based CV attempts to capture my background, skills, interests, and excitement around coding, software, and building science. It is a living document, and will be updated as needed, hopefully with beautiful pictures and plots since it is mostly a lot of text right now.

Me.Summarize()

  • I spent my school years learning everything I could about heat transfer, fluid flow, building energy, and learning how to apply computational methods to solve problems.
  • I spend my work hours handling a variety of tasks for building energy simulation software, currently working for Trane Technologies.
  • I am proficient at many programming languages, but my favorites are Python, C++, Fortran, and LOLCode.
  • I have a strong knowledge of building science including building heat transfer and fluid flow, controls, HVAC equipment simulation, central plant simulation, ground heat transfer, simulation weather data, and more.
  • I have worked on a lot of interesting software development projects, both personal and professional.
  • I have been an author on a reasonable amount of Publications, although I would love to write more if time allowed.
  • I am active in ASHRAE including serving in multiple committee roles.

Bucket List

Some of the big (work, or work-tangential) things I’d like to accomplish include:

  • Contributing to more open source projects, because I have benefited so much from them over the years.
  • Average telling at least 2 people per week that I run Linux natively on my machine and have since 2010.
  • pip install energyplus
  • Make a decent video game out of the 23 different attempts I’ve made there. It will need to interop between VB.Net, VBA, Python, Lua, and C++, because I’ve tried to make games in all of them.
  • Figure out how to make my refrigerator temperature sensor wires go through the fridge door seal without interfering with moisture invasion and frost build-up.
