Empowering Tech Success: United, We Engineer the Future
CHEP - Brambles
Global IT Infrastructure Engineer
My everyday responsibilities included serving as a liaison to third-party vendors required for plant automation implementation. Utilizing the resources of company partners to manage plant infrastructure, build and secure plant automation projects, design IT network layouts, and provide high-level project overviews to executive management. To streamline repetitive tasks, I have developed automated scripts that have saved dozens of man-hours.
Efficiency Unleashed
Automation and Innovation
Automating repetitive tasks to enhance accuracy and speed, reducing human error during software and hardware refreshments, quantifying savings of over 800 man-hours in just one customized script. Successfully led the final Infrastructure commissioning for a project worth 8 figures, with only hours of debriefing from the original engineer in charge while cutting costs and keeping the project on its original timeline.
Real-Time Monitoring
Saving Millions
Created a real-time monitoring platform for special projects, reporting hardware faults on specific servers on the network - which enabled swift and accurate detection of known hardware faults, preventing dozens of hours of production downtime. This platform has resulted in quantified cost savings in the millions over a six-month period.
Efficient, Secure
Kiosk Solutions
Provided a customized secure kiosk software solution overlaying an operating system, which allows operators on the plant floor to work faster while nullifying human error and security breaches by restricting overall access to information and the OS.
