Professional Summary
My diverse work experience has led me to be an expert in evaluating new technologies and a proponent of materials reliability. I continuously search for innovative ways to mitigate corrosion and fouling through use of coatings, surface treatments, and additives. Having led 70+ failure analyses, I am well versed in root cause analysis using inspection and process data combined with forensic techniques. My ability to lead a project team paired with my passion for renewable energy has brought bio fuels to market and led to enterprise wide interest in lower carbon initiatives.

Work History
10/2020 to CurrentMaterials Technology Project ManagerBaxter | Lakewood, CO,
Renewables Focus
Led R&D efforts to evaluate bio fuels and other renewable feedstocks' effects on equipment reliability.
Designed and executed corrosion and fouling tests to determine which renewable feedstocks' could be co-processed in the refineries at which concentrations.
Tested several different types and grades of renewable feedstocks and also evaluated the efficacy of antioxidants in preventing oxidation of feed.
These efforts led to successfully co-processing soybean oil in the Chevron El Segundo Refinery in 2021. The first refinery to co-process bio fuels in a fluid catalytic cracking plant to make gasoline, jet, and diesel.
Currently expanding the analysis to encompass blends of bio fuels and the possibility of using melted plastic as a feedstock.
Evaluating the effectiveness of surface treatments in preventing corrosion and fouling in bio fuels service.
In parallel, Chevron's recent focus on hydrogen has prompted research regarding infrastructure and materials requirements for equipment reliability in hydrogen service.
Aligned with the development of internal standards regarding material grades, welding requirements, and damage mechanisms in hydrogen service.
Protective Coating Focus
Developed relationships with several protective coating providers and evaluated their technologies through experiment design and execution.
Evaluation of coatings in numerous services led to deployment of coatings on equipment like heat exchangers and furnaces that were most affected by fouling.
Developed a self-healing coating for corrosion protection of offshore assets and other equipment in corrosive environments in collaboration with notable paint vendors.
06/2015 to 10/2018Equipment Reliability R&D Project ManagerChevron | City, STATE,
Project Manager responsible for leading a cross-organizational (4 companies) team of engineers and scientists to develop and deploy a “self-healing” coating technology capable of autonomously repairing mechanical damage for corrosion prevention of offshore assets.
Worked with several paint and coating manufacturers before vetting a technology to meet Chevron Engineering Standards
Designed and executed validation testing, developed industry’s first test methodology for evaluating self-healing materials
Project Manager responsible for leading a multidisciplinary engineering team on a project aimed to improve non-destructive examination (NDE) techniques for detecting High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA) in steel for maintaining equipment reliability in hydrogen service.
Project Lead responsible for testing and evaluating reliability of equipment after exposure to: polymers, produced and synthetic water, bio fuels, high temperature crude oil; Project Lead responsible for designing and executing tests to validate coating technologies to prevent fouling/scaling in heat exchangers
Validated and deployed 10+ technologies in 2018.
06/2015 to 10/2018Materials Engineer/Failure Analysis LeadChevron | City, STATE,
Managed all of Chevron’s downstream failure analysis requests
Carried out 70+ failure analyses of hardware ranging from heat exchangers and rotating equipment to nonmetallic materials and high reliability investigations requested from other oil companies
Managed and prioritized work coming into the Chevron Materials Lab and delegated failure analysis projects to the appropriate engineers or self
Supported capital expenditure projects and lab improvement initiatives for lab equipment upgrades to optimize technical service and increase R&D capability
Trained new materials engineers hired in ETC and the refineries on the principles and process of conducting a failure analysis
This included qualitative and metallographic analysis as well as investigation into the process streams and equipment functionality to come to a comprehensive root cause and solution for the customer
Provide failure analysis expertise, corrosion modeling, and general materials consulting for Joint Ventures such as BAPCO, CLG, Caltex
Notably conducted two analyses of BAPCO’s VBU and Crude Unit failures that resulted in a fire and a plant shut down, respectively
Authored the update of the FCC Chevron Engineering Standard to reflect recent studies and failure data for corrosion prevention
Promoted to next pay scale grade with management responsibilities 5 months after starting at the company.
05/2014 to 12/2014Engineering Co-opBP America | City, STATE,
Supported the Subsea Production System (SPS) team on a technology project to design subsea equipment that can withstand up to 20ksi of pressure and 350F temperatures in order to explore ultra-deepwater reservoirs
Conducted a valve fatigue study to exhibit how 20ksi mudline pressures would affect the fatigue life of individual SPS gate valves during operation to serve as a basis of design that accommodates recent revisions to API 17TR8, HPHT Design Guidelines
