Product and Process Engineer - Engineering R&D lead for various chemical synthesis stages providing expertise in crystallization, liquid-liquid separations, distillations, isolations, impurity removal, drying, particle size reduction techniques, mixing, lyophilization, and filtration. Pilot Plant Engineer - Contributed to process risk assessments for products made at the plant. Generated process equipment modification requests and ensured proper installation of the modified equipment to fit the need of the process.Process Safety Scientist - Evaluated chemical processes prior to scale up to pilot plants and developed solutions with the chemists to ensure safe scale up to avoid over pressurizations / run away reaction / decompositions / dilution and venting of flammable off gasses.

Treated waste water to remove residual metals and strip off ammonia prior to discharging to municipal waste water treatment plant. Evaluated cost savings and return on investment of raw material changes related to waste water treatment. .

Prepared minimum scale reaction batch records, trouble shot gelation issues, and worked closely with operators to evaluate an increase of >30% production of an aqueous emulsion polymerization without additional capital equipment investments. Realized annual savings on commercial product lines were over $1.3 million per year.
