What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities to apply petroleum engineering, upstream operations, data interpretation, and engineering innovation to improve operational efficiency and sustainability in the energy sector.

I've supported upstream oil and gas operations at Seplat Energy Plc, contributing to production activities, engineering analysis, operational reporting, technical documentation, and HSE compliance.

In a Petroleum Engineering Simulation Laboratory, I modeled production and reservoir scenarios, interpreted datasets for technical reports, and strengthened my understanding of production optimization and reservoir performance. I also co-developed an AI-powered Smart Flare prototype to optimize flare monitoring and mitigate industrial gas flaring, reaching the Quarter Finals of the NEO Engineering Olympiad.

As Programs Chair for SPE-IUO, I've led technical lecture series, seminars, and workshops from planning through execution, earning an Award of Service for leadership and dedication.
