Selma (Riverdale), Al

• Engaged in Project Bridge operations wherein a paper machine is undergoing a machine rebuild and startup• Screened a Distributed Control System (DCS) for paper machine steam & condensate to ensure controller logic and interlocks• Construct Standard Operating Procedures to ensure machine operations are at manufacturing best practices • Propelled several projects during rotational REACH engineering program for the paper department including creating production and downtime tracking documents, camera system tie-in to quality system, and additive tank testing to investigate high pH swings• Support the Sheetroom (neighboring department) by developing a nonconformance task tracking spreadsheet• Headed Pre-Bridge Operator Training presentation on future machine threading procedure to all four shifts

Perry, Georgia

• Identified root causes for the increase in chargebacks to the Corn Packaging Department at Co-Packer (Gilmer Logistics) and decreased waste percent by 53% with projected annual savings of over $34,000• Implemented a standard line set-up for seal checkers to capture a complete set-up for seal checkers running small bags• Created a process for calibrating seal checkers on a weekly basis to ensure bags have proper air fill and to be QSHA compliant• Spearheaded pre-shift meetings with weekly updates to the team on bag seal quality as well as improvements at Gilmer Logistics• Collaborated with Packaging Machine Operators (PMO) to learn about the machinery, gain PMO buy-in to make changes to daily processes, and to exhibit servant leadership

Gainesville, Florida

• Developed two SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) implementable algorithms using VTScada software for optimizing four of Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) lift station operations reducing pumping efforts by 33% with potential annual savings of over $2,000 • Designed applications in VTScada that modeled algorithm actions which were then field-tested simulating interactions with the GRU VTScada system, two Data Flow Systems (DFS) Pump Control Unit’s (PCU001), and two DFS Tac Pack Telemetry Control Unit’s (TCU001) • Studied Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) Pump Automation Controller’s (SEL-2411P) for the possibility of integrating algorithm logic into a SEL system • Responsibilities as a leader included organizing agendas for team meetings, facilitating meetings with team and GRU sponsor liaisons, delegating tasks to appropriate team members • Presented project findings with a GRU liaison engineer at the FSAWWA conference session “Saving on Your Sewer Collection System” November 2018
