About Me
I am a Process and AI Engineer who bridges the gap between traditional systems optimization and modern AI development. With a core foundation in plant operations and data analytics, I possess a deep understanding of complex process flows that allows me to systematically capture raw workflow information, translating operational data into scalable continuous improvement initiatives.
Building upon this industrial background, I integrate strong capabilities in data engineering and AI development to architect end-to-end digital solutions and product engineering with business applications. Ultimately, whether I am developing intelligent business tools, orchestrating AI workflows, or optimizing physical processes, my focus remains on delivering reliable, high-performance solutions that solve real-world problems.
My Path with Engineering & Data
Senior Plant Engineer
- Engineering & Project Execution: Lead design, procurement, and commissioning of plant utility systems (boilers, chillers, compressed air, process water), ensuring regulatory compliance and on-time delivery.
- Energy & Operational Readiness: Drive energy-saving initiatives, establish preventive maintenance SOPs, and train operations teams for reliable day-to-day running.
- Post-Commissioning Optimization: Analyze system performance data to identify inefficiencies and implement Kaizen-based improvements that reduce downtime.
Mentor & Technical Facilitator
Feb 2024 - Aug 2024- Facilitated accountability sessions and project reviews, providing technical mentorship on real-world data and AI projects via Discord.
- Assisted in creating and refining educational projects, technical assignments, and course materials.
- Attended weekly team meetings to discuss student progress, curriculum improvements, and program initiatives.
AI Developer, UIUX Designer & Web Developer
Jun 2024 - Aug 2024- Collaborated with a student team to design and develop a Shiny-based web app for automated GitHub repository analysis, integrating GitHub API workflows.
- Implemented LLM-powered analysis using embeddings, prompt engineering, and model evaluation to improve response quality and efficiency.
- Built interactive UI/data visualizations and presented outcomes to the cohort and industry stakeholders at POSIT.
Data Analyst
Aug 2023- Examined patient volume, retention, and revenue trends to identify high-value segments and surface performance insights.
- Delivered actionable recommendations to improve patient engagement as part of a pro-bono project.
Process Engineer
- Safety & Risk Management: Supported P&S operations to minimise risk, managing environmental incidents and identifying root causes and contributing factors.
- Operational Delivery & Inventory Control: Ensured plant configuration, personnel, and operations consistently met customer deliverables while maintaining optimum inventory levels.
- Continuous Improvement & Planning: Drove KPI-focused initiatives (e.g. fuel efficiency) and contributed to shutdown planning and budget forecasting.
Graduate Process Engineer
- Production Monitoring & Cost Optimisation: Oversaw production improvement targets and tracked utility/raw material consumption to drive operational efficiency.
- Data Analysis & Process Improvement: Compiled and analysed process data to evaluate performance and identify improvement opportunities.
- Trial Planning & Financial Simulation: Planned process improvement trials and modelled cost/savings projections to assess financial viability.
