What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an early-career role where I can apply materials engineering and quality control, then use data analysis to identify root causes and improve efficiency—ideally in a refinery or manufacturing environment.

I’m a results-oriented Materials and Metallurgical Engineer with hands-on experience in material testing, quality control, and refinery operations. Through my Lab Intern role, I conducted physical and chemical property tests, analyzed test data using statistical methods, and wrote technical reports with actionable improvement recommendations.

In my refinery internship, I supported maintenance and inspection of equipment, participated in quality control for raw and finished products, and collaborated with engineering teams on efficiency improvements to reduce equipment downtime. I combine strong engineering fundamentals with data-driven root cause analysis and tools like Tableau and Microsoft Office to drive operational performance.
