I’m a technical leader and senior process engineer passionate about driving innovation and scalability in emerging technologies. Over my career, I’ve specialized in building systems, teams, and strategies that turn ambitious concepts into impactful, scalable solutions. Core Expertise: ⇨ Carbon capture and storage (CCS) ⇨ Techno-economic analysis ⇨ Process optimization and design ⇨ Scaling production systems ⇨ Risk identification and mitigation Whether designing a massive carbon capture plant selected for government funding or scaling operations to convert a backlog into revenue, I thrive on high-risk, high-reward challenges that demand creativity, persistence, and precision. Leadership and Mentorship: ♦ I’ve built and led cross-functional teams to meet ambitious project milestones. ♦ I enjoy coaching mid-level engineers into leadership roles and fostering professional growth. ♦ I strive to develop a collaborative, high-performing team culture driven by clear communication and continuous improvement. Colleagues Describe Me As: ✦ Efficient, organized, and solution-oriented ✦ Skilled at balancing technical expertise with clear communication and leadership ✦ A leader who challenges ideas, not people, and fosters collaboration I believe in creating value not just for a project but for the people and communities they serve. I’m inspired by smart, kind colleagues who challenge me to think critically and creatively, and I aim to bring the same energy to my team.
I drive innovation in chemical processes for energy, carbon capture, water purification, and advanced materials. I lead cross-functional teams to deliver projects from concept to commercialization, managing operations, mentoring engineers, and optimizing processes. One of my proudest achievements is leading a team of eight to win a $70M carbon capture project, integrating multidisciplinary inputs to achieve design goals on schedule. I also converted a multi-million-dollar backlog into substantial revenue by restructuring production operations and streamlining processes. I also spearheaded the submission of invention disclosures for carbon capture patents, securing valuable intellectual property. Presenting cutting-edge technologies at industry conferences has been a highlight, securing partnerships and contributing to $5–10M in project proposals annually. Mentoring junior engineers and building high-performing teams remains a cornerstone of my approach, ensuring sustainable growth and innovation.
I lead the development and commercialization of gas purification technologies, focusing on optimizing manufacturing processes and scaling operations to meet growing demand. During a leadership gap, I revamped production operations, boosting revenue by millions of dollars in 2022. I introduced a work order system to streamline purchase orders, contributed to ISO certification, and optimized supply chain processes. My team delivered six engineering design packages and constructed three purification systems in 2024, meeting tight deadlines and budget constraints. My focus on team development and operational efficiency has consistently driven measurable results.
I contributed to front-end engineering designs (FEED) for large-scale petrochemical facilities, specializing in ammonia/syngas and olefin production plants. I optimized thermodynamic efficiency and created analytical models to improve process performance. I delivered comprehensive PFDs, P&IDs, and heat/material balances for major projects, ensuring compliance with client specifications. My role required seamless collaboration with global teams to streamline workflows and enhance project delivery timelines.
I focused on optimizing thermodynamic efficiency and dynamic behavior of waste heat recovery systems, including Kalina Cycle® technology. I developed advanced computational models, conducted iterative testing, and spearheaded project strategies for novel energy systems. One of my key contributions was enhancing the off-design performance of geothermal waste heat recovery systems through comprehensive modeling and analysis. I also improved client satisfaction by delivering hands-on training for system operation, ensuring safe and efficient plant functionality.
I devised and optimized biomass gasification systems and predictive models for renewable energy applications. Leading cross-functional experimental teams, I focused on advancing commercialization readiness for innovative energy solutions. I created predictive models that compared empirical results with theoretical benchmarks, enabling more accurate process scaling. By implementing a design of experiments methodology, I accelerated R&D timelines, allowing the team to meet critical project milestones efficiently.
