I optimize petrochemical processes, catalysts, and plant performance through data-driven engineering.

At ExxonMobil, I served as the regional Catalyst SME for North American polyethylene gas-phase reactor operations, connecting manufacturing sites with Core Technology teams and improving consistency across Metallocene and Ziegler–Natta catalyst operations.

I've prevented approximately $900K annually through improved catalyst-selection criteria and helped resolve a $55M plate-fouling issue through root-cause investigation. I also increased catalyst productivity by 20%, generating $4M per year in raw-material savings while helping defer $100M in capital expenditure.

I use statistical analysis and digital tools including JMP, Power BI, and Seeq to improve decisions on the plant floor. My work cut batch drying time by 15%, standardized MSDC updates to prevent $1.5M in annual losses, and unlocked an 11.3% capacity gain through THF drying bottleneck analysis.

Earlier at PETRONAS Carigali, I supported production chemistry operations through scale-management investigations, performance benchmarking, chemical-cost tracking, and technical training on corrosion and scale management. I bring chemical engineering grounding in gas, petrochemical, and polymer processing, along with practical commissioning, troubleshooting, and cross-functional improvement experience.
