I conveyed equipment specifications and institute process controls for hard rock and brine-based lithium extraction processes. The 3D model evaluations, operability and project assurance reviews, process hazard analyses, and equipment acceptance tests I completed enabled us to identify hazards early in the process.• Planned and completed two improvement projects valued at $25M to eliminate production loss; reduced freshwater demand by 14%, elevated annual production by 10%, and delivered $38M in net present value (NPV). • Anticipated challenges and adapted engineering actions for $60M project to install and start up raw material pipeline and treatment plant.

My leadership, communication, and organizational skills were used to lead project lifecycles from scoping to project closure in pharmaceutical reagents production. I consistently ensured projects exceeded occupational safety, health, and environmental protection standards.• Collaborated with cross-functional R&D, product development, and operations teams to encourage new product development; increased process utilization by 25% and produced $5M in NPV.• Mobilized cross-functional team… Show more My leadership, communication, and organizational skills were used to lead project lifecycles from scoping to project closure in pharmaceutical reagents production.
