Experience

  1. Staff Research Engineer

    CNH

    Jan 2022 — Present · Sioux Falls, SD, US

    I answer engineering and business questions with data—I determine what data we need; work with teams to create, measure, and collect it; and write algorithms to analyze it. I design experiments to ensure we can trust our results and our conclusions. I communicate results and conclusions to stakeholders.• Applied a method—for the first time in agriculture—to quantitatively measure operator stress; demonstrated how our ASABE-AE50-award-winning steering product VSN reduced operator stress rate by 48% relative to steering manually. • Quantified the value proposition of Raven Cart Automation (RCA) in part using the stress measurement method. RCA won a 2024 ASABE AE50 award and the award application prominently referenced the product value proposition work • Contributed as inventor for patent designs for three distinct products• Wrote three scientific papers to rigorously show product value• Designing experiments, creating new ways to measure, validating data, analyzing data, telling stories with data
