Apr 2019 - Aug 2019Underground mechanicUnderground maintenance assistant; worked within obscure and hazardous environments; requested advice from coworkers regularly & strove to participate.
Newmont corporation
Apr 2020 - Aug 2020Maintenance engineerDuring my internship as a Maintenance Engineer at Newmont Corporation, I played a key role in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of maintenance operations. I conducted a detailed Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) on the maintenance planning process to pinpoint and mitigate potential risks, integrating lean principles to streamline operations and reduce inefficiencies.I developed a custom VBA driven workbook designed to manage the creation of an annual budget exceeding $30 million. This tool significantly improved efficiency by eliminating over three weeks of manual data management annually, thereby allowing more time for strategic activities.Additionally, I engineered algorithms to analyze Internet of Things (IoT) data from fleet management systems. These algorithms helped identify and rectify production inefficiencies in haulage trips and the activities of mine personnel, directly contributing to enhanced operational performance. Show less
