Responsible for Root Cause Analysis of equipment failures and optimization of preventive maintenance program, including mechanical and electrical team with 30 technicians.Proposed and managed improvement projects to improve maintenance performance and reduce costs according to cost & availability Pareto studies.Facilitated application of Lean and Continuous Improvement programs to the plant's maintenance department, which had previously been slow to adopt. Built consensus by consistently illustrating impact on technicians' daily lives.

Engineering lead for over $10MM in capital investment in state-of-the-art process cooling equipment, industrial furnace upgrades, and pipe straightening equipment.Led debottlenecking improvements that increased capacity and revenue by $4 MM by reducing processing time for key products and improving equipment reliability.Responsible for technical oversight and continuous improvement of quench & temper heat treatment and industrial furnaces at a plant processing over 300,000 tons/year of steel tube and pipe for Oil & Gas customers including Chevron, Shell, and BP. Developed, qualified, and standardized heat treatment recipes for over 50 new products while optimizing throughput using proprietary thermal process modeling.Recognized as a Subject Matter Expert in Thermal Processes through Vallourec's Global Expert programHands-on facilitated Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) events for cross departmental teams in Operations & Maintenance.Reduced process safety risk at industrial furnaces by designing and implementing industry leading combustion safety upgrades and inspection program based on NFPA 86 and FM 7400 standardsRecognized by plant management for Excellence in Innovation for reliability improvement initiative that generated safety, quality, and cost improvements in product handling system. My design essentially eliminated the root cause of safety and quality issues related to improper marking.Developed custom digital solutions using Excel/VBA, SmartSheet, and MS SharePoint to better ensure product traceability, allowing the plant to industrialize higher-margin products and enter new markets with demanding customer requirements.Automated KPI reporting to reduce report generation time by more than 85% using Excel/VBA tools and Power BI dashboards while improving data integrity.

Developed mathematical models and presentations to evaluate commercial viability of newly patented liquefied natural gas (LNG) modular liquefaction technology
