• Refractory Supervisor

  • Feb 2020 - Dec 2021

  Coordinated changes in material selection, lining design, and installation practices which lowered refractory spending by over $1M.Developed data-based tools and visualizations to monitor refractory health during campaigns, relate observed wear to conditions experienced in service, and predict future performance based on standard melting practices.Contributed to development of workplace culture by receiving and conducting interdepartmental engineering training, mentoring exempt and non-exempt staff, and providing feedback on potential new-hire candidates.

• Melt Shop Process and Quality Engineer | Refractory

  • Sep 2018 - Feb 2020

  Led a team of engineers and data scientists that created a live machine learning energy model for the Electric Arc Furnaces which reduced processing costs by >$3M per year.Provided novel data for investigations regarding EAF melting quality, Ladle fleet management, AOD vessel campaign life, Casting defects related to refractory materials, and pacing of steel through the melt shop

  • May 2012 - Aug 2012

  Discussed the theory behind, and evaluated the data processed by, the mill’s shape model. Researched x-ray thickness measurement and methods of display to allow operators to utilize live data during rolling Calibrated and monitored the efficiency and accuracy of a newly-installed slab width gauge and camera system by comparing instrument measurements to manual measurements, thereby reducing the frequency of mixed metal errors Performed quality checks by analyzing rolling data from customers' orders.
