What I'm looking for

I seek a process- or simulation-focused engineering role where I can apply hydrotreating and refinery experience, contribute to cost optimization, and grow in process design and scale-up.

I am a chemical engineer with hands-on experience in API manufacturing costing, hydroprocessing pilot plants, and quality control from industrial internships. I focus on designing and optimizing chemical processes while ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards.

My academic work includes modeling and simulation of residue hydrotreating using Aspen HYSYS/Refining, developing parallel reactor models to improve plant-scale accuracy. I have practical skills in mass and energy balances, reaction engineering, catalyst kinetics, and refinery operations.

I am a collaborative problem-solver who has led large volunteer events and coordinated technical fests, demonstrating strong project management, communication, and team leadership. I seek opportunities to apply process engineering, cost optimization, and simulation expertise to drive measurable operational improvements.
