Joseph Tang is a professional mechanical and software engineer currently with BMT and with 12 years of experience. He has worked independently and with teams on a variety of projects as a consultant, analyst and software developer, for example in (i) performing computational fluid dynamics and finite element analyses of mining machinery in the coal and phosphate mining industries, (ii) writing custom code to mine data and analyze, optimize and monitor mining operations and related metrics, (iii) designing, programming and maintaining web sites and (iv) undertaking numerous site trips to mines for field measurements. He has also 4 years of professional experience in Australia and is presently in the US on an Australian-specific E3 working visa. BMT Commercial (Centennial, Colorado) – 2012-present 2016-present
