    Operations Support Engineers (OSEs) are responsible to ensuring the safe, reliable, and economic operation of processing units. To accomplish this I focused on nurturing a culture of operational excellence focused on developing operator knowledge, minimizing risks to production, and developing proactive maintenance tasks. As the OSE for the delayed coker and isomerization units, which are major conversion units in the refiner, I focused on creating inherently safer systems to minimize potential risks to personnel and training personnel how respond to abnormal situationsMajor Contributions:• Generated $3.5 million in margin uplift by collaborating with operations and other technical disciplines to optimize reactor temperatures.• Prevented a multimillion-dollar shutdown by leading a multidisciplinary team to adapt existing piping and vessels to reroute process streams to another processing unit.• Initiated and scoped a $65M, multi-year project to replace existing equipment, including the evaluation of alternative designs and examined the impact of future unplanned downtime.• Collaborated with a multinational team in the Shell Process Engineering Business Challenge to develop a digitalization strategy for the Process Engineering community.• Facilitated causal learning investigations into high potential API Tier 1 process safety events to identify root causes, initiating events, and company culture issues.
  • Shell
    Control Systems And Automation Engineer
    Shell Sep 2014 - Oct 2017
    London, England, Gb
    As a control systems and automation engineer, I supported three different operating departments by providing technical assurance, improving control and automation systems, and coordinating maintenance activities. Creating and tuning control loops required the development of multivariable models by modeling process data using statistical tools, which reduced variability within the process and damped disturbances. Major Contributions:• Collaborated with Honeywell to create the first implementation of a new turbomachinery control module and presented results at Honeywell’s national user conference.• Applied User Experience Design (UX) principles to construct intuitive Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) that presented process information to operators and maintenance personnel.• Created data visualization computer graphics to present critical process data and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to operations, technical support staff, and site management.• Reduced carbon emissions by 1,600 metric tons per year and generated $300,000 per year in energy and water savings by managing a small project to optimize steam boilers• Utilized data analytics, cloud computing, and machine learning to train analyzers to identify critical stream properties and components from Raman spectroscopy.
