What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead process and asset reliability improvements, drive sustainability initiatives, apply data analytics, and grow in financial engineering and risk management.

I am a process engineer with hands-on experience delivering operational excellence, asset reliability, and sustainability initiatives in manufacturing environments. I apply data-driven decision-making and reliability metrics to optimize production performance and reduce operational risk.

I have led water treatment and utility optimizations, integrated renewable energy projects, and achieved measurable cost savings and environmental improvements while managing maintenance planning and line conversions. I also drove a 40% cost reduction on chemical and oil waste disposal and led waste and water-management improvements.

I am expanding expertise in financial engineering, risk management, and advanced analytics to support strategic investment and long-term business sustainability, and I bring strong problem-solving, project management, and cross-functional collaboration skills to every role.
