As a Process Engineering Supervisor, involved in Senior Leadership team to create long term strategies, project planning and ensuring successfully execution to meet company’s vision.• Part of a Vertical Integration team to analyze cost savings opportunities in the area of Supply chain, Manufacturing processes, Product Management and IT ERP systems.• Foster strong relationships and collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, Purchasing and Maintenance departments on operations opportunities.• Create CapEx request and manage projects to ensure they get implemented within budget.• Lead a growing team of 4 E.I.T.s and 2 Engineering technologists to achieve company’s goals. Making strategy to improve department’s performance by inspiring and encouraging for professional development.• Manage and creating yearly Engineering budget for process improvement projects.• Created Continuous Improvement program to focus on opportunities that would positively impact on KPIs.

Having studied in Chemical Engineering and started working as Process E.I.T. in industrial engineering, I adopted working environment with ease and brought my academic skills into my daily work.Duties:o Led CFT meeting for various projects and Engineering support for production shop.o Accountable for auditing processes, improving existing processes, line balancing, Takt time study, writing Work Instructions and FMEA.o Led various projects to reduce scrap, i.e. initiated the project to reduce scrap of one of the profiles from 20% to 4% by introducing precut material based on standard sizes.o Worked on projects to reduced material costs, i.e. saved $72,000.00/ year by setting up in-house fabrication process instead of buying processed raw material.o Designed fixtures and jigs using AutoDesk Inventor 2013. o Implemented new production lines for new products and improved existing production lines capacity by creating VSM and making Layout changes.o Led Continuous Improvement (CI) and Scrap Reduction projects across all Production Departments. o Analyzed machines and adopted processes to improve them to optimal levels using Lean Manufacturing techniques.

Projects at Suncor Energy:• Analyzed the distribution of combustion air for coke fired boilers that produce 1000 klb/hr steam o Interpreted PFDs and P&IDs to understand the configuration of the boilerso Successfully conducted material and energy balances to determine air: fuel ratioo Suggested to increase excess air by 4%-6% more based on data analysis in order toimprove overall efficiency of boilerso Implemented Over-fire Air (OFA) technique to reduce hazardous gas release and fuelconsumption• Evaluated operation availability and efficiency of soot blowers for coke fired boilerso Analyzed the operational data to find the efficiency of soot blowers that consume 790 psig of saturated steam to clean the boilerso Conducted density and velocity comparison for 425 psig superheated steam versus 790 psig-saturated steam to reduce the erosion and corrosion problem inside the tubes.Initiations:• Initiated the process of Failure Mode & Effect Analysis (FMEA) to identify critical failure modes and recommended the alternate processes to improve the efficiencies of boilers and soot blowers• Achieved improvement in the boiler performance and also lowered the NOx production• Presented progress reports to the management on routinely basis

• Researched on polymerization-based projects: Turbulent Bed Contactors, Infrared Drying of Polymer Solutions and Polymerization of Styrene• Executed analytical study of gas velocity profiles for non-Newtonian fluids in Turbulent Bed Contactors• Achieved numerical relationships by graphical analysis of experiment variables• Performed technological survey and edited research manuscripts to be published

• Updated results of stability tests on drug substances including solid-dose and antibiotics• Ensured medicinal durability by reflecting failed batches to operating staff• Trained and Implemented GMP and GDP regulations • Supervised team members by assigning tasks and ensuring timely performance

• Utilized column and gas chromatography to detect hydrocarbons in soil and water samples • Prepared solutions and performed centrifugation for solvent extraction • Achieved the highest accuracy in experimentation of over 100 samples per day• Delivered in a fast paced environment while warranting process safety and quality
