To whom it may concern,

Due to the unexpected closure of Hemlock Semiconductor's Tennessee site, I am seeking a challenging position where I can leverage my past experiences and my ability to apply existing knowledge to new situations. A summary of my accomplishments is listed below.

I have developed refinery and industrial processes and have been awarded 21 US and foreign patents. I have also developed a catalog of novel IP that is classified as trade secrets.

I have developed and commercialized technology related to process analyzers, including process gas chromatographs and accessories. I also have a strong working knowledge of sample systems and analyzer application development. In addition, I have provided technical support for various products and attended trade shows to support sales efforts.

I have experience working with MOC, Hazop reviews, and PSM..

I have extensive experience reading and interpreting P&ID's and revising them to reflect field modifications or as-builts .

I have experience scoping projects and developing construction work packages for both small capital projects and mega projects that require extensive design and cooperation with multiple disciplines to ensure project success. I have worked with EPC firms to develop detailed designs and supervise construction activities.

I have worked closely with maintenance personnel to address field failures and perform root cause analysis as well as provide training opportunities.

I have experience optimizing processes by integrating process analyzers into process control schemes and helping to identify new process variables that can affect product quality.

I have developed analyzer PM schedules, SOP's, and SMP's. I have also worked closely with vendors to develop JIT inventory schemes to minimize inventory without affecting analyzer uptime.

I have worked with electrical area classifications and equipment certification.

I was named as an analyzer subject matter expert by Hemlock Semiconductor.

I appreciate your consideration.
