Responsible for hiring, managing, and developing a team of 10 people including field level managers, with the goal of proficiently executing and monitoring water treatment using chlorine dioxide in oil and gas operations. This role oversaw the entirety of the Chlorine Dioxide operations and business development, with a broad scope of responsibilities reporting directly to the General Manager/Owner.Key Responsibilities Include: 1. Professional development of direct reports that saw multiple employees promoted into supervisory roles. I grew our team from 2 field staff to 10 field staff including 3 field supervisors.2. Pivotal role in market share growth of approximately 20%, and revenue growth of 40% YoY2. Desig and development of job programs and procedures3. In-depth economic analyses of job costs and field tests; built relationships with vendors, including quote/price negotiation, and alternative supplier retention through competitive bidding4. Lead role in customer facing technical review and reporting 5. echnical expert across all business units (Canada and US); responsible for all internal and external technical writing, including case studies, conferences, and presentations.6. Comprehensive internal documentation, including: SOP development, Field and Corporate KPI tracking, Quarterly Financial Reporting to Stakeholders, Employee performance evaluation, and feasibility analysis for acquisition of new companies/technologies9. Creation of a new technical team comprised of chemical engineering technicians that would serve to decentralize and deliver technical expertise directly at the field level.Exemplar projects:a. Development of chlorine dioxide for downhole remediation of polyacrylamide reservoir damage.b. Creating and deploying field packages for monitoring polyacrylamide floods, and subsequent polymer breaking and make-up.c. Field trial for experimental mixed-metal oxide electrochemical coagulation process used for recycling water

Primary areas of practice: biocide/production chemical/polymer testing, applications, and execution; sales and customer/stakeholder engagementFocused on the technical development and application of Chlorine Dioxide as a broad spectrum water additive and well stimulant for the treatment of bacteria, iron, and polyacrylamide related damage or pain points. Other areas supported include completion chemicals, and intervention/water conformance treatments. Oversaw the design, programming and execution of chlorine dioxide treatments. Summary of Key Responsibilities- Primary point of contact for all chlorine dioxide related inquries, treatment designs, reports, critical KPI testing.- Field Operations support as technical field supervisor. Extensive knowledge on chlorine dioxide equipment operation and rig-up. - Solving technical challenges and providing recommendations to our customers, including: biocide programs, time-kill studies, water sweetening/treatment strategies, chemical compatibility, and stimulation enhancement for water, polymer, or ASP floods.- Account management for strategic customers like Seven Generations, Apache, Progress, Shell, Pembina, PennWest, and others. - Support for Scale Inhibitor and Biocide programs across multiple arms of Baker HughesExemplar projects:- Development of new well stimulant packages for production chemicals and well intervention.- Upholding Baker Hughes' academic standing by executing and publishing peer-reviewed field trials of new biocide treatment schemes (see publications)- Implementation of production chemicals including polyaluminate coagulants, neutralized/partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamides, and a gamut oxidizers, scale inhibitors, and biocides.

Fort Saskatchewan, Ab

Primary areas of practice: Oil & Gas and Environmental regulatory testing, Product Quality, Analytical Chemistry and Procedure/SOP developmentDaily environmental regulatory monitoring and testing of holding ponds and sour/oily process water. Monitoring and quality testing of mid-stream products. Our purpose is maintaining Shell Canada's governmental compliance and environmental liscence to operate. Standard methods (ASTM) followed for all testing, (i.e., biochemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, oil and grease, ion chromatography, ICP, total acid number, H2S concentration, karl fischer water content, phenolics, peptizing power, demulsification, etc.).

Primary areas of practice: Organometallic/Inorganic Synthesis, Polymer Synthesis, Computational Analysis, Spectroscopy,Projects investigated:a. Use of platinum based polymers as durable materials for polymer based solar cells b. Tellurophene/Selenophene analogues of polythiophene and polydibenzothiophene for absorptive and fluorescent applications in optoelectronics and solar cellsc. Synthesis of molecular boron nitride and it's parent hydrides, the hitherto unstable compounds with high thermal capacity; for use in microelectronics.d. Polyaminoboranes, including functionalized borates as potential precursors for amorphous and/or crystalline boron nitride coatings.Side projects included the isolation of parent inorganic methylene and ethylene (for use in room temperature synthesis of Ge, Sn and Si nanoparticles), and computational analysis for the entire research group.

Primary fields of practice: Physical Chemistry/Chemical Physics, Instrumentation Design, SpectroscopyHired as contractor to determine the efficacy of an experimental apparatus for investigating chemical warfare agent defense and detoxification.Key declassified project goals and accomplishments included:a. Fabrication of a bench-top electrospray apparatus for use in both open-air and ultra high-vacuum environments.b. Develop procedures for generating solutions of gold and silver nanoparticles, conditioned for pumping through microcapillary systems and deposition in uniform pseudocrystalline matrices under cryochemical conditions.c. Document and deliver project data and results in usable form for IP development, and replication in the DRDC centre in Suffield, AB.

Areas of practice: Teaching, Lesson Planning, Computational ChemistryAs a contract sessional instructor, I developed and taught Maple (v. 9.0 or 10.1) based computational lab classes, wherein the students derive and understand the basics of quantum mechanics and how it relates to particle wavefunctions and atomic orbitals in chemistry.In addition to being a contract sessional instructor, I also took on undergraduate TA'ing during other semesters (not listed individually here), where I lead undergraduate lab courses in Chemistry and Math. Responsible for student's safety and awareness of chemical hazards. Administered mathematics lesson plans to students in concurrent education programs.
