South Pacific Botanicals produce a range of cosmetic products using all natural ingredients sourced from the Pacific, with a predominant focus on extraction and use of essential oils in their products.As the production supervisor on a fixed term contract, my role is to oversee the manufacture of all cosmetic products and operation of the distillery. During my time I focused on improving production procedures that can help scale production to the next level. This included creating more structure around their current batch manufacturing system, introducing key points of quality control and data analysis tools from the quality control to ensure long term consistency.I also designed new labels for four product lines to help revitalize the product and aid their marketability.

After my internship and final-year project with Syft, I came on board as a full-time mechanical engineer. I moved into a role within the production team, specifically the calibration phase of production. My responsibilities included management of a team of technicians within the calibration phase, communication between stakeholders of production, troubleshooting of the instruments.I was also still involved with the development team, taking on a number of projects designing new components to improve the performance of the instrument.

As an intern at Syft, I was a part of the development team designing components for the next iteration of their mass spectrometry instrument. My design projects included industry-specific internal mechanical chambers as well as sheet metal external enclosure design.I went on to complete my final year project with Syft, designing and manufacturing a product called the Ion Funnel. The ion funnel is an existing product used in other mass spectrometry devices, but never been implemented in SIFT-MS nor the Syft Instrument. The specific application presented a number of challenges including extreme environments, space constraints and integration with a complex system.
