Provided advanced technical expertise to maximise efficiency, reliability, and value from blasting activities, equipment, and emerging technologies, showing technical leadership and identifying and implementing continuous improvement plans.Solved complex and escalated aspects of Drill and Blast design, performing CAD modelling, blast engineering, risk analysis and troubleshooting throughout the PCDA process.Developed strong working relationships with peers across Execution and Scheduling teams, collaborating to develop and engineer solutions to diverse scenarios. Audit and review the effectiveness of the operation of the Drill and Blast design standard and its continuing suitability in the face of change, making adjustments to build upon and improve its effectiveness.Setting up automation platforms for internal customers, using software technical capabilities. Specifically, Deswik.Suite VBA macro and Process Map development, and advanced Excel spreadsheet and VBA macro development.Leadership and development of peer capability and technical skill in designing, developing, and reconciling underground blasts.

Using and developing software codes to perform machine learning on data sets from mineral processing plants. Using high performance computing (HPC) clusters to run these codes. Interpreting data analysis results to identify opportunities for improving process efficiency.

Working within a student team, we produced a life of mine plan to optimise the sequence and schedule of bench operations for the Central Eyre Iron Project's fully and semi-mobile in-pit crusher and conveyor haulage system. We collaborated with internal and external stakeholders to achieve an optimal outcome which satisfies both academic and industry requirements for our honours project.
