Summary Process engineer with experience in engineering, procurement, and

construction, facilitating process design and improvement in the

petrochemical, chemical, and energy industries during conceptual,

feasibility, FEED, and detailed engineering phases.

Employment Associate Process/Specialty Engineer II - Fluor Corporation,

Experience Greenville, SC May 2006 - Present

Analyzed and optimized plant processes and developed PFDs and P&IDs

towards the execution of four international, multi-billion dollar

engineering, procurement, and construction projects for the

production of polypropylene and polyethylene, acetic acid,

polycrystalline silicon, and enriched uranium through interfacing

with technology-providers and clients.

Analyzed, improved, and implemented government-oriented business

processes being performed by the Fluor Government Group to increase

efficiency and transparency by defining specific responsibilities and

practices.

Translated government manuals and regulations into standardized and

tested work instructions and procedures for government contractors

for services previously being performed by military personnel.

Developed discipline-level budgeting, cost control, staffing, and

performance monitoring plans as well as managing project close-out

procedures through coordination with project controls team.

Developed simulation models using process engineering software to

accurately predict and design relieving scenarios, flare header

sizing, control valve and pump operation, and line hydraulics.

Increased profit margin of products through incentive-based value

awareness programs by reducing client's initial capital investment,

as well as operation and maintenance costs.

Specified process information for equipment and instrumentation,

prepared interdisciplinary data sheets, and created scope of services

documents of various levels based on project phase.

Developed design execution procedures and Standard Operating

Procedures (SOPs) by working iteratively with host and client

management teams.

Performed Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis with the technical

team on plant utility and process lines using PHAWorks and

coordinated the effort to address the problems identified.

Selected and managed subcontractors/suppliers in accordance with

project deadlines.

Graduate Research Assistant - University of Alabama, January 2005 -

May 2006

Designed a testing methodology using DOE techniques to maximize

research efficiency and analyzed results to develop a mathematical

model that accurately represented physical phenomena.

Independently examined problematic systems and provided engineering

solutions contributing to extension of Air Force Research Lab

(Edwards AFB) contract.

Designed, constructed, and integrated laboratory test equipment for

the purpose of identifying chemical reaction rates and mechanisms

through data acquisition.

Designed experiments to quantitatively compare the performance of

"green" fuels with benchmarks.

QC/Development Engineer Intern, Arora Technologies Inc., Huntsville,

AL, May 2004 - Sept. 2004

Performed QA/QC tests involving electrochemical etching and

polishing, thermal and chemical stripping, and anodizing of processed

aluminum sheets.

Employed DOE techniques in an R&D environment ultimately leading to

collaboration with operators in an effort to introduce a pilot line.
