Experience
Jason has been a seasoned professional with KWL since 1999 after spending 3 years at Metro Vancouver. With an M.A.Sc. in Civil Engineering, specializing in hydraulics, Jason’s early career focused on dynamic sewer modelling of the regional sewer system and SCADA system upgrades aimed at improving the end-user experience.
As a Senior Associate at KWL, Jason recognized a gap in the industry’s ability to handle and analyze vast amounts of data collected from various data loggers and SCADA systems. This led him to create KWL Emerald, which received a CEBC Award of Merit in 2007. In addition, Jason continued his innovative streak by launching FlowWorks, the upgraded successor to KWL Emerald, focusing on innovation in water resource applications.
His most recent initiatives, including an automated rainfall IDF alert system, watershed flow forecasting systems, co-development of coastal inundation and water peak-day demand forecasting models, and development of a purpose-built, low-cost ultrasonic data-logging solution have established his reputation as a forward-thinking innovator in his field. Jason’s most recent development, Parallax, combines parallel computing and machine learning with any open-source model to produce an extremely powerful calibration and forecasting system.
