I am an optimization expert and throughout my career I have tackled problems across all stages of optimization modeling ranging from early stage R&D to sustainment of optimization models at manufacturing sites after deployment. My expertise is building optimization and data science solutions for process modeling problems in the manufacturing domain. I have broad experience in multiple areas, including planning optimization, real-time optimization (rigorous models of chemical processes to execute closed-loop optimization), process control, and data science for manufacturing problems.I enjoy transforming open-ended problems into actionable roadmaps and ultimately business solutions. My core skill set is building and solving optimization models, but I am also passionate about algorithms, data science workflows, software development practices, life cycle assessment and teaching/mentoring.
