I absolutely love what I do here at this awesome company!

• Own and maintain the MES configuration while working to troubleshoot and eliminate the root cause(s) of issues• Improve visibility of plant operations and equipment efficiency by developing reports to help drive decision making• Manage industry 4.0 related projects and objectives for the site while helping to identify and promote enhancements• Actively collaborate with numerous departments and (+80) individuals inside Nemak Alabama and Nemak Global

• Programed a VBA macro to automatically process control board data files and chart a control board’s state over time allowing engineers to save time in meeting preparation and compare standardized outputs• Used NumPy and Pandas in Python to automate a tedious sensor naming process and export the results to an iPad• Built a valve test fixture to simulate the part life for two different valve solutions.

• Worked in a premium capacity designing and maintaining the next phase of the company’s Warranty Analytics Reporting (WAR) Power BI app to better allow engineers to digest part failure data, identify trends, and reduce costs (the Power BI app had 30 active users)• Expanded and modified the existing Power BI data model used in WAR to accommodate various data needs• Reduced the amount of time engineers spent compiling data summaries by developing VBA macros in Excel to automate their… Show more • Worked in a premium capacity designing and maintaining the next phase of the company’s Warranty Analytics Reporting (WAR) Power BI app to better allow engineers to digest part failure data, identify trends, and reduce costs (the Power BI app had 30 active users)• Expanded and modified the existing Power BI data model used in WAR to accommodate various data needs• Reduced the amount of time engineers spent compiling data summaries by developing VBA macros in Excel to automate their workflows, saving the department hours of work per year (+2000 lines of code)• Improved the effectiveness of prototype field launches by developing new standardized inspection templates, which allowed engineers to compare part failures in different models that used the same parts.• Presented warranty analytics report and data model changes to a senior project engineer during a weekly meeting• Performed ad hoc analysis for senior engineers on connected IoT data, and project discussion board data• Used Power BI, Data Analysis eXpressions (DAX), SQL, Power Query, Excel, and Visual Basic for Applications Show less

• Setup 9 microcomputers to run an inertial measurement program which helped engineers collect individual customer’s unique door opening profiles so that door openings could be replicated during door and hinge testing• Reported results from completed prototype development projects by creating Power BI dashboards and reports for senior engineers that allowed them to review prototypes’ past performance by week and compare to other prototypes• Developed a small time-lapse program in Python… Show more • Setup 9 microcomputers to run an inertial measurement program which helped engineers collect individual customer’s unique door opening profiles so that door openings could be replicated during door and hinge testing• Reported results from completed prototype development projects by creating Power BI dashboards and reports for senior engineers that allowed them to review prototypes’ past performance by week and compare to other prototypes• Developed a small time-lapse program in Python to run on a microcomputer which helped engineers to better monitor projects and locate failures during prototype laboratory testing• Assisted in deploying two waves of prototype units to customer homes by equipping prototypes with data loggers, monitoring the prototypes' progression through the customer assurance lab, reworking prototypes, and verifying protype customer assignment and shipping Show less

• Manually processed part and part family data to be used by engineers as inputs for machine learning models.• Assisted engineers and technicians in completing test requests, lab projects, and manual data processing.

• Analyzed test results for 60 factory returned ice makers and reported results to a senior technician• Worked side by side with a senior technician testing units and preparing them for testing• Prepared 50 prototype units for distribution to customer homes by installing data loggers in each prototype and verifying the functionality of the unit’s connected module
