Led complex technology rollouts and cross-functional capital project alignment for global mining clients, using MS Project schedules to coordinate engineering initiatives. Analyzed multi-site technical requirements with Navisworks and Bluebeam and supported S&OP and procurement inputs to ensure smooth system interfaces and delivery readiness.

Directed end-to-end gold processing operations, maintenance work management, and critical asset shutdown planning for a high-capacity mining facility. Applied constraints-based value stream optimization to eliminate processing bottlenecks, and built Power BI dashboards to brief senior executives on risks and production gains.

Oversaw milling-circuit process performance, mass balances, and plant asset reliability using continuous automated process data from SCADA networks. Led data-driven root cause analysis to resolve process constraint issues and update operating philosophies to improve long-term value stream outcomes.

Conducted laboratory-scale testing, material characterization, and analytical modeling in an industrial research environment. Synthesized large analytical datasets to model production targets and established mass balances and performance baselines to support process scale-up.

Master of Science (MS) in Engineering Management with a minor in System Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington.

Completed an Executive Certificate in Economic Leadership for Mining at the University of British Columbia.

Bachelor of Science (BS) in Engineering with a minor in Mining Engineering from the University of Dar es Salaam.
