Utilising the new mobile app framework, the most complex application I designed has been the Pulse Operations app. This app equips mine field workers with the ability to completely replace paper worksheets, complete safety prestarts, checklists, and track production statistics from any piece of equipment on site.

The development required heavy integration with the Pulse Planning desktop app, allowing mine and maintenance planners to efficiently schedule work for their teams. Once a worker picks up a tablet, the device automatically syncs the necessary worksheets for the day, enabling offline use throughout their entire shift.

This was the most exciting and hands-on project I have completed to date. To ensure the app could be used effectively in any operational context, we partnered with a remote mine in Tasmania for development, necessitating multiple site trips for testing and user feedback workshops. These sessions included both above-ground interactions and many conducted 500 meters underground in the crib room.
