Objective: To obtain a professional position in the field of Chemical
Engineering.
. M.S. in Chemical Engineering.
. 4+ years of experience as a formulation engineer and process engineer.
. Six Sigma Green Belt and Transactional Lean Trained.
. Proficient in design of experiments (DOE) and statistical analysis.
. Computer Literacy: Microsoft Office, Matlab, C.
Professional Experience:
Commercialization Engineer, The Sherwin Williams Company, Cleveland, OH,
USA. 1/12/09-Present
. Scale-up of coating formulas to ensure manufacturability and
robustness prior to large scale manufacturing, quality investigation
of the existing problem formulas, optimization of the formulas and the
resolution of process related issues.
. Work involves support to all the plants to reduce/reuse wash water and
to improve production efficiency by designing study at lab scale.
. Analyze production data and utilize data driven approach to
identify/solve or to improve the process.
. Leading/participating in continuous improvement projects in R&D to
reduce product development time and to implement novel methods of
paint testing.
Chemical Engineering Intern, The Sherwin-Williams Company, Cleveland, OH,
USA. 5/12/08 - 8/08/08
. Worked in commercialization engineering team to resolve quality issue
of a paint formula by demonstrating the root cause of the formation of
syneresis/settling in production-audited samples. Analyzed stability
results, performance and characterized rheology profiles of developed
formula.
Chemical Engineering Co-Op, The Sherwin-Williams Company, Cleveland, OH,
USA. 9/17/07-12/15/07
. Worked towards improving the scale-up model to derive better
correlation between lab scale production and large scale production in
plant. Performed design of experiments (DOE) on problem formulas.
Analyzed immediate lab results, stability by observing synerisis,
viscosity drift and rheology profiles for different processing
condition.
Chemical Engineer, Deepak Nitrite Ltd., Vadodara, Gujarat, India.
4/23/05 - 8/01/06
. Handled unit processes such as chlorination, nitration and unit
operations such as distillation, drying, crystallization with the use
of distributed control system (DCS) and trouble-shooting of the
process problems.
. Responsible for continuous process improvements and process
optimization.
. Worked with EHS to cost out the opportunities in the areas of EHS.
Participated in HAZOP studies and TPM.
. Responsible for managing duties of plant operators and maintained
monthly production totals and metrics.
