With over 16 years of engineering and management experience, I am passionate about helping manufacturing operations and engineering teams optimize their CAPEX projects by using cutting-edge “virtual plant” workflows and techniques. I have a master’s degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, and I hold CMRP and PE certifications. I am currently the Team Lead for US Operations at Element6 Solutions, a global leader in digital design and engineering services for the chemical manufacturing sector.In my role at Element6 Solutions, I leverage my expertise in manufacturing engineering, process safety engineering, and engineering management to deliver high-quality and cost-effective solutions for our clients. I supervise a team of engineers and consultants who provide technical support, training, and guidance for various manufacturing projects across different industries. I also collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment of goals, expectations, and deliverables. Some of the recent projects I have worked on include designing a chemical plant expansion, conducting a process hazard analysis for a pharmaceutical facility, and optimizing the maintenance and reliability strategy for a power plant.
