My role involves maximizing the success that users have with Seequent products, starting with my last product, DRIVER, which was recently acquired from Minerva Intelligence Inc.

Vancouver, Canada Area

My role at Minerva is to evaluate how different problems across the mining value chain can be solved with software solutions. My primary product right now is called DRIVER (https://driver.rocks), and it's a platform that uses a novel set of algorithms to tackle the problem of 3D modeling complex datasets.A wide variety of geoscientists use DRIVER, from.

Conducted Phase I/II environmental site assessments, groundwater monitoring (sampling, statistical analysis, report writing/submission), soil investigations (sampling, computer modeling, report writing), proposal writing, FOIA requests, remediation and construction observation/supervision, and expert witness support. Software utilized: Aqtesolv, Chempoint.

Nicaragua

Gold Exploration project in Nicaragua.Conducted mapping and sampling of project area and explored for new deposits. Constructed regional and local maps using ArcGIS 10 software. Supervised 4 field crews for sampling, road construction, drill pad construction, community relations programs and other logistics.Managed the Terraspec Spectral Mineral Analysis.

Assisted a PhD candidate with his research on the change in glacial cycles over the past 2 million years by preparing samples from the Baffin Island area for cosmogenic radionuclide dating.Used a rock crusher and disc mill to prepare samples to the correct grain size.Performed sequential chemistry operations to separate quartz from feldspar including.

• Worked in the TEM/PCM lab where I prepared samples for both Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) analysis. During my time in the lab I was trained in the following standard.
• SOP for TEM Ahera analysis using air filter cassettes
• SOP for TEM micro vacuum analysis using dust and wipe samples
• SOP for PCM analysis using air filter cassettes
• Prepared pre-weight/post-weight cassettes to 5 significant figures for use inside the lab as well as for sale to other labs
• Prepared multiple types of soil samples for Polarized Light Microscopy analysis
