ICF Proposal for City of Santa Ana Fleet Electrification & Electric Vehicle Master Plan February 27, 2024 used and when they were not. Using these results, it was possible to recommend 3 additional locations for the bikeshare bikes, as well as which locations had the greatest utilization. Heavy Duty Fuel Cell Truck Clinic Project, Toyota Motors North America, 09/2017 — 05/2018 Team Lead — Duncan led a team of 5 engineers and scientists in a project partnering with Toyota in Gardena, CA developing a concept for a regenerative braking system for the Project Portal hydrogen fuel cell truck. As part of this project, Duncan helped research different technologies for storing the energy generated by braking, and performing battery cycle tests to determine whether the proposed battery would be able to work with the proposed application. In addition, he developed a first -principles model to measure the braking energy generated by a Class 8 truck on several routes originating at the Port of Los Angeles which was used to estimate how much the efficiency of the vehicle would improve through the use of this braking energy. Duncan participated in several instrumented drives to generate data for the model using real -world heavy-duty truck driving conditions. Concept of Operations Software Application, Birdi Systems Inc, 03/2019-08/2019 Software Engineer. Duncan co -led the development of an internal software application for the administration of the Systems Facilities Operational Readiness (SFOR) business process. This software was designed to store, manage, and communicate with stakeholders all the information and insights generated as part of the 5 phases of SFOR including (1) Current Conditions Assessment, (2) Future Conditions Analysis, (3) Gap Analysis and (4) Risk Analysis and (5) Risk Mitigation. This system has since been used by the company on multiple major infrastructure projects including the LAX Automated People Mover project and the LA Metro Emergency Security Operations Center project. It was developed using JS and SQL databases. Emergency Security Operations Center (ESOC) Design, LA Metro,1212020-0612021 Owner's Representative. Duncan was a key member of the owner's representative team for LA Metro's Emergency Security Operation Center project, helping to ensure that the designs for the systems for the building would support the desired operational outcomes for LA Metro for emergencies and for operations of their bus and rail fleet. He supported design revisions and contributed towards the development of a Concept of Operations for the ESOC. He also helped manage requirements disagreements between LA Metro and the main contractor for the project. CCTV Design and Construction for Bradley West Terminal— LAWA, 04/2020—12/2020 Project Engineer — Duncan was the main project engineer for installation, inspection, commissionining and design changes for the CCTV camera system installed for the new Bradley West international terminal at LAX. Duncan helped to manage and QC the work of technicians alongside the superintendent to ensure that deadlines were met. He vastly accelerated the pace of inspections and commissioning of cameras and IT hardware by the team and LAX to ensure that the building could be handed over to airlines in operational condition by 2021. Duncan worked with numerous contractors across construction disciplines to ensure that locations were ready for installation as promised. Further, he mitigated the delays caused by the COVID pandemic as much as practicable. Concept of Operations for LAX Central Utility Plant, LAWA, 08/2018 — 0512019 Project Engineer — Duncan helped to develop and implement the Systems Facilities Operational Readiness assessment of the Central Utility Plant at LAX as part of a four -person team. He conducted over a dozen interviews with operational staff in addition to a detailed review of the facility drawings and operational data. He completed a comprehensive gap analysis, risk analysis and risk mitigation plan. He developed several projects with an estimated savings of over $5 million annually and payback period of <3 years.
