DERRICK GHANNEY

I am a Mechanical Engineer with over 6 years of hands-on experience across heavy industrial environments—including aluminum smelting, construction, and refinery operations. I have served as a Plant Engineer, Maintenance Technician, and Student Engineer on major industrial sites, giving me a broad understanding of how complex systems are built, operated, and maintained.
My background spans:
Plant engineering and equipment maintenance
Construction project engineering
Refinery operations and industrial processes
Systems thinking and process optimization
Alongside my engineering core, I bring strong technology skills: software engineering fundamentals, artificial intelligence applications, prompt engineering, and project management. I am uniquely positioned to bridge traditional industrial operations with modern digital tools including AI assisted monitoring, predictive maintenance, and technical systems documentation.
I also offer professional English services tailored for industry: technical writing, SOP and manual creation, and English coaching for engineers and technicians.
I am available for remote freelance projects, consulting, technical writing, and AI-integrated industrial solutions.
