  HamiltonJet

  Nov 2018 - Jun 2019

  Process Engineering Intern

  While interning over one summer and a following semester break, I researched industry 4.0 and how it could be implemented for maximum benefit at Hamilton Jet, I then scoped and executed a proof of concept for this allowing core aspects of the foundry process to be logged and monitored. This project is still utilised and has since been expanded upon.
