Drilling Technology Lab at Memorial University

• Project Research Engineer

  • May 2018 - Jul 2019

  Working with the Drilling Technology Laboratory towards the development of a new technology called Sustainable Mining while Drilling (SMD). This novel mining process is designed to extract narrow veins traditional uneconomical for ore extraction. In addition, the SMD technique minimises mining reclamation and man power greatly making the burden on the environment also non-existent. This research and development project is an industry collaboration with DTL group and Anaconda Mining, who are pushing innovation in the mining industry in Newfoundland. An overview of my daily tasks include: • Project Management - aspects of hiring, economic projections, timelines, etc. • Development of PCB design using KiCAD Electrical CAD software. • Organize and perform field trials associated with geophysical imaging • Repair and upgrading of Laboratory Equipment • Wireless integration into all devices via 915MHz and/or 2.45GHz communication bandwidths. • Embedded coding of ARM processors and other micro-controller architectures. • Development of technical documentation and project reporting to industry. • Developing financial budgeting spread sheets for quarterly reporting.



Mysa Smart Thermostat

• Electrical Design Engineer

  • May 2016 - Apr 2018

  Designed the electronics for the 1st generation of Mysa Smart Thermostats.
