## About

```text
At ACCIONA Construction, I was the sole on-site Quality Engineer for precast manufacture of approximately 73,000 Sydney Metro CTP tunnel segments, with full traceability and zero non-conforming release. I verified production lots against concrete results, mix-design requirements and project specifications.

On the Western Harbour Tunnel, I was the Quality Engineer for civil works including excavation, pavement and utility installations. I managed NCRs and RFIs, led site and supplier audits, and handled client handover packages and audit responses.

At Hickory Building, I inspected precast columns, walls and façade panels against approved shop drawings, checking reinforcement, formwork and concrete quality. Earlier, as a Quality Engineering Intern at Dana Incorporated, I supported automotive quality and manufacturing work, authored a Total Productive Maintenance thesis, and implemented 5S and standardized work.
