Job overview
- Applied Linear, Logistic and Time series regression machine learning in Python to manufacturing datasets that have assisted in creating compelling data storytelling to improve both the quality of vehicle engineering as well manufacturing measurement capabilities.
- Delivered Tableau dashboards and other interactive reports that have led to clearer communication across teams as well as delivery of engineering elements months ahead of schedule.
- Building apps in Microsoft Power Platform with intricate SQL tables and bespoke UI design to capture, manipulate and summarise engineering data.
- This has resulted in improved fitment of components on vehicles as well as material quality that’s competitive but cost effective.
- These apps are used by over 70 engineers on a daily basis, by digitising and centralising the process data led to improved and consistent delivery of vehicles as well as our learning capabilities via data.
- A leader of our Agile team, forward planning with sprint plans in Jira and engaging with stakeholders for clear direction.
- Responsibilities as a project leader include sprint planning, time management, team resource allocation, quarterly sprint planning, swift bug resolutions and mitigating, user-case and iterative testing plans.
- Leveraging JLR warranty data via complex queries in Google Cloud Platform to find data-driven insights
- Used advanced Microsoft Excel VBA to automate report writing.
- Design and creating Power Automate flows to utlilise, file sharing, email distribution and data capturing capabilities.
- Experience with Matlab, finding anomalies in product data as well key data labels to help map attribute data to the vehicle engineering data
- Creating HTML, CSS and PHP based internet sites to illustrate department capabilities and engineering data
- Enhanced system performance by identifying and resolving technical issues through thorough analysis and troubleshooting.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to complete projects on time, ensuring client satisfaction and meeting business objectives.

Test Systems Integration Engineer
08.2015 - 09.2016
Job overview
- Configured more efficient start-up protocols for the test engines, resulting in 15% less fuel per test which presents a large saving over time.
- Working under extreme time constraints to enhance engine development test cells before testing start date
- Both with physical sensor capabilities as well as the data capturing side
- Summarising testing results into clear and carefully articulated reports, working with engineers to ensure effective and conclusive testing
- Installing complex test cell sensors (Thermocouples, humidity sensors etc.) that resulted in more comprehensive understanding of how the engines operates under pressure via development testing
- Writing executable scripts using C#, based on testing protocol design for new part on testing rig.
- The script sets up how the engine will idle and progress through the testing time allocated.
- Supporting a range of high capital projects with the need for CyFlex integration, working with clients in the United States on effective technical integration.
- Solving day-to-day CyFlex software issues and improving optimisation of data capturing setups of test cells.
- Modbus and other network communication protocols (TCP/IP, SFTP, CAN, Ethernet) used to initialise communication between measurement devices and CyFlex.
- Designed and delivered a test schedule sheet that calculates the utilisation of test cells as well as downtime (VBA).
- Enhanced overall system functionality through meticulous testing and debugging processes.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality integration solutions on time and within budget constraints.
- Streamlined communication between various software components for seamless data transfer.
- Optimized system performance by identifying and resolving complex integration issues.
