- Discovered control knobs for both mean and cross wafer width of isolation trenches, increasing product uniformity and yield.- Developed a recipe that could realize up to 91% improvement of mid critical dimension's process capability index (CPK) and 74% improvement of delta to target (DTT) on average if fully implemented.- Engaged in heavy data analytics and process development tactics including statistical calculations and design of experiments.

- Designed a distillation column to remove potentially harmful substances from essential oils. - Built a small-scale physical model of a vacuum distillation column- Successfully separated desired compounds and proposed potential further steps for improvement.

- Designed a Plasma experiment to find optimal running conditions for even deposition of Silicon Nitride.- Assisted in the installation and start up of a new Denton E-beam Evaporator.- Repaired and maintained 50 industrial level machines and tools involved in microchip creation. - Assisted with 4 sections for Brigham Young University's graduate level Cleanroom lab class.

- Eliminated $220K/year worth of caustic injections on a Quench Tower and investigated how to handle iron sulfide sloughing due to the resulting pH shift.- Collaborated with a variety of engineers and superintendents to verify, design, and install a pipeline that will allow for easier feed tank level control on the Sour Water Stripper.- Created a tool to identify missed sludge injections on the Coker tower that costs the company an average of $1MM per year in lost opportunity.- Built Promax simulations for 5 Sulfur and 2 Amine Treatment Units that are now used in daily unit troubleshooting.- Led a variety of troubleshooting and management activities with the Sulfur Recovery Units

- Developed a recycling solution for spent MSCC catalyst saving the company $100,000 yearly- Transferred all the company’s MSCC and Alkylation unit’s daily data reports from PI and Excel to Seeq.- Performed a variation of calculations relating to orifices, heat exchangers, and temperature stresses. Worked mainly with calibration and data inconsistencies.

- Handled approximately 40 customer calls daily relating to technical and account issues.- Received 100% positive feedback on customer service via email surveys.- Utilized the "Triple A" communication technique to best provide customer peace of mind.

- Assisted with conceptualizing and designing ideas for 2 major company clients. - Learned basic CAD by self-initiative to further assist in the design process. - Handled calls, emails, and greeted clients professionally and concisely.
