Reviews
Current responsibilities include working on financial + risk modelling. The motivation behind the project is interesting and engaging, however I'm finding myself getting lost in the midst of the project after ~4 weeks working on it, mainly due to our resources being under equipped for what we're trying to do.
I will do ad-hoc protection reviews for requests from the field. When there are changes to the network I will conduct reviews to ensure we have adequate protection.
Changes every 6 months, however, my past three rotations have been in the reliability sector, project management role and now an engineering role.
