In my role, I executed comprehensive Life of Mine analysis and budgeting, involving the intricate assessment of designs, production, and costs. As a proficient Project Coordinator/Lead, I successfully coordinated the feasibility study and relocation of Hwy 191 to accommodate mine expansion. Serving as a crucial liaison between Mine Planning, Plant Engineering, Engineering Contractor/Consulting Firms, and regulatory bodies such as Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA), I ensured seamless collaboration and regulatory compliance. In another key role, I orchestrated the design of stockpiles adhering to environmental boundaries, as well as the establishment of stand-off zones from reserves and resources in the context of the Mine for Leach (MFL) project. Additionally, my expertise extended to comprehensive mine planning, involving the evaluation and strategic recommendations for long-range mine designs and forecasting at varying intervals. This encompassed 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, and the entirety of the Life of Mine. Furthermore, I contributed to enhancing operational efficiency by designing and evaluating conveyor and stacker configurations, adhering meticulously to the standards set by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

In my research roles, I have actively contributed to groundbreaking projects. As a key member of the Automating Equipment Information Exchange (AEX) project, I have been instrumental in the development and deployment of extensible Markup Language (XML) specifications. These specifications are pivotal in automating the sharing of information across various stages of engineered equipment's lifecycle, including design, procurement, delivery, operation, and maintenance. My involvement in the Smart Chips Project has centered on exploring and evaluating radio-frequency identification (RFID) technologies that are commercially viable or nearly ready for implementation. These technologies hold promise for seamless integration into field construction, operations, and maintenance applications. Additionally, my contributions to the VET project have been focused on identifying and assessing the potential value of emerging technological applications in areas spanning facility logistics, construction, operations, and related domains. Through these roles, I have demonstrated a keen ability to engage with cutting-edge technologies and drive innovation within complex operational contexts.
