About

I’m an engineer who believes industrial progress should not come at the cost of the planet. My work focuses on understanding how systems operate in practice and how they can be redesigned to work more efficiently, cleaner, and sustainably. I specialize in turning technical bottlenecks into operational advantages. I am currently deep-diving into my Master’s thesis, where I am working on my thesis project to convert textile wastewater into Green Hydrogen. This work reframes a major industrial liability as a high-value energy resource, combining wastewater treatment with clean fuel production in a single integrated system. My professional background is built on maintenance management, technical team leadership, and environmental engineering. Having worked in high-stakes international operations, I have learned that successful energy transition requires both a system-level sustainability vision and a detailed understanding of mechanical reliability and process performance on the ground. My goal is to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and industrial reality, developing solutions that are not only sustainable in theory, but robust, scalable, and economically viable in practice, for building the future of energy and Earth.
