What I'm looking for

I'm seeking Process Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Production Engineer, or Operations Engineer roles where I can improve efficiency, safety, quality, reliability, and cost performance through process optimization and continuous improvement.

I've optimized production processes at Alice Consulting through process analysis, troubleshooting, KPI analysis, and data-driven engineering solutions. I also conduct HAZOP and LOPA assessments to strengthen safe, reliable operations.

My work spans process design and manufacturing projects, including enzyme degumming for vegetable oil and a conceptual orange juice plant. I've developed PFDs and P&IDs, performed mass and energy balances, modeled processes in DWSIM and Excel, and reduced design flaws and inefficiencies by 25%.

Earlier, I improved recycling efficiency by 30% and reduced operational costs by 25% during a waste management internship at Reliance Industries Limited. I'm focused on applying process safety, continuous improvement, and practical plant engineering to improve quality, efficiency, and sustainability.
