Utilizing the abundant, yet neglected, wealth of data created in the mining industry to enable optimization that extends beyond individual departments and to the entire operation. How do various ore blends impact mill performance? Are we spending enough or too much on blasting? Can we adjust our pit schedule to increase mill throughput? The answers lie in the data, which requires a different kind of mining than this industry is used to.• Designed and implemented end-to-end tracking services that enable optimization across multiple production operations and add $20M/year in client revenue• Consulted global clients to establish priorities, workflows, IT infrastructure and data limitations to customize products and implementation strategies• Transformed the development cycle of a remote, international product team from a “fire fight” to a customer-focused priority system using Jira• Utilized Power BI extensively for client facing dashboards, data model prototyping, and internal tracking“… this is my best experience with a software provider…” – Production Supt.
