Just trying to get my website back up and running! It’s been a long hiatus. I’m a Computer Scientist, who fell off into the oilfield, and is getting back to the tech roots. I’ve been studying Python and Machine Learning. I plan to be posting projects that I work on here.
A Brief History
I graduated from Louisiana Tech University in 2005 with my BS in Computer Science with a minor in Entrepreneurship. After college, I worked a year at Tech with the smart classrooms and the online education technologies. In 2006, I left education and began working in the oilfield technology sector. I worked for Epoch, which was a division of Nabors Drilling on well site instrumentation and logging. After that I began working for The Directional Drilling Company (Currently KLX Energy Services through a series of mergers) as a Measurement While Drilling Engineer. I’m currently a Directional Driller for KLX Energy Services. This October will mark 15 years with the company.
To The Future
I’ve maintained an interest in technology, though I haven’t practiced it much. I believe Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are the future. I am amazed at the speed and accuracy that simple machine learning produces. I hope to move my career in that direction, wherever it may fall.
On The Side
I came across geohot and Comma AI. I have installed that in my wife’s vehicle and am pretty upset that no one has it working in a truck yet. It is absolutely incredible and the hit the nail on the head with the slogan “Drive and Chill.”
I became a pilot several years ago, though I haven’t flown since an illness in 2015. I plan on getting back in the sky soon.
