Provides functional leadership and strategic guidance to our team of mechanical integrity and materials engineers through project management, technical/engineering mentorship, and networking to drive forward-thinking solutions. Represents GRSA's capabilities of MI & RBI Program Development from cradle to grave, inspection planning, worklist optimization, IOWs, leak tracking, inspection effectiveness studies, and risk screening/prioritization. Steers digital transformation and software implementation for new or evolving MI programs, leveraging our team's extensive range of boots on the ground experience.---Identify damage mechanisms and associated risks in fixed equipment and piping strategies with unprecedented quality and review of equipment history, to drive proper management, prioritization, and RBI where necessary. Initiate corrective actions to reduce inspection noise and inaccuracies where appropriate to ensure accurate historical data.---Develop/deliver clear risk mitigation plans for vulnerabilities to mechanical integrity by NDE inspection, repair, or replace. Initiate online repair options to prevent unit shutdowns. Translate IOW compliance to alternative metallurgical options in lieu of risk acceptance.---Offer insight for clients seeking MI software solutions based on extensive breadth and experience among team.

Supported Coker/SRU/FCC/Utilites units in material selection, failure analysis, inspection, and welding challenges. Heavily focused on site reliability of fixed equipment and piping through RBI. Interacted daily with mechanical engineering, process engineering, inspectors, and complex engineers to drive well-formed decisions. ---Provided materials/inspection support during multiple slowdowns and turnarounds.---Preloaded material degradation risks in fixed equipment and piping strategies with unprecedented quality and review of equipment history, to drive RBI. Initiated corrective actions to reduce inspection noise and inaccuracies in state files where appropriate to ensure accurate historical data.---Developed/delivered clear risk mitigation plans for vulnerabilities to mechanical integrity by NDE inspection, repair, or replace. Initiated online repair options to prevent unit shutdowns. Translated EROE compliance to alternative metallurgical options in lieu of risk acceptance. ---Drove over 2000 brittle fracture evaluations to completion per API 579, and led interdisciplinary team in identifying subsequent risks. Continued to drive towards automating brittle fracture condition monitoring.---Spearheaded comprehensive risk identification of CO Boilers, to adequately prepare for planned outages due to severe unreliability. Served as a central point of contact for business team in understanding current risks and mitigation options.---Improved corrosion analysis of heater tubes, driving cost savings through risk-based replacements.---Communicated opportunities for utilizing LPS to minimize loss. Led near loss investigations to drive solutions to inefficiencies.---Volunteered as network member for sharing among sites. ---Dedicated to forward thinking on data management to proactively minimize future losses (e.g. interchangeable bundles, spare equipment handling, inspection data systems). Training: NACE Corrosion in Refinery, NACE Coatings, API 571

---Characterized, via optical profilometry and electrochemical techniques, pitting corrosion damage accumulation on Al2024-T3 and Al7075-T6 atmospheric and lab exposures to support development of better predictive models. ---Assisted professor with class demonstrations, and served as student resource over course material.***The above research was financially supported by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and collaborated with Battelle Memorial Institute.

Impacts as a summer intern at P&G's Tide facility.---Enabled $2.1 million annual cost savings by implementing work process for international shipping.
