Mine Engineer I at Freeport-McMoRan

Brief Information

Currently, I have just finished my master’s degree in mining engineering from the University of Utah. My research is focused on Operational Excellence through the use of IoT and Lean Mining concepts, such as Short Interval Control. The study was applied to a truck and shovel fleet to reach a gradual improvement in the performance metrics, such as production rate and uptime. The results of my research were very positive. They allowed me to be introduced to valuable skills, such as being proficient in the usage of SQL Server, Power BI, PowerApps, and other software. Therefore, I am looking forward to work in the industry so I can keep developing my engineering and management/leadership skills.
