• Information Governance Officer

  • Jun 2021 - Aug 2022

  I worked with several departments and disciplines through contracted and volunteer work, however I always returned to my original placement as an information governance officer. I was lucky to work with a great team, and the work was very interesting. I was the main point of contact for information requests from the public, this included solicitors, patients, companies and various other institutions. Some information requests were large/complex and I used project management techniques to ensure all aspects of the request were responded to in accordance to the relevant acts and guidelines. I also managed training for new members of staff joining the team, and created SOPs (standard operating procedure) documents. Show less



Littelfuse

• Product Engineer

  • Mar 2019 - Apr 2020

  After graduating I joined Littelfuse as a Product Engineer responsible for the Diode product line. I was also introduced to Lean Six Sigma and underwent green belt training. I really appreciate the training received, as it improved my skills as an engineer and allowed me to gain a new perspective on problem solving. I was involved in all parts of the production process, and implemented several changes to improve yields for diodes. Some projects were difficult, however gathering the knowledge of operators, engineers and designers allowed the projects to gain traction. I enjoyed analysing data and setting up experiments to verify theories. I was able to trace back several yield issues back to supplier materials, and on separate occasions to our processes. Many of the processes used to manufacture diodes are also used to manufacture thyristors, so I often contributed to other projects. A highlight of my time here is arranging the weekly internal football match, and social events. Show less



IXYS Corporation

• United States
• Semiconductor Manufacturing
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Process Engineer

  • Apr 2006 - Dec 2014

  My first foray into the industrial world! Started as mandatory 1 week work experience, that ended up lasting 10 years. My primary role was to reduce operating costs and waste in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Sometimes this was a relatively simple task with a big impact on operating costs, such as reviewing consumable usage across the entire factory. On other occasions it got more technical, and involved improving yields by reducing process variation. A particularly interesting project for me was improving doping uniformity within a batch. Analysing data from processes allowed me to identify when equipment was starting to behave abnormally and implement preventative maintenance instead of reacting to a yield problem further down the line.
