Hire the Best Petroleum Engineers
in the United States

I am a licensed chemical engineer with 14 years professional experience. The experience I have gained throughout my career has been a blend of direct chemical process manufacturing as well as consulting/contracting roles supporting clients in varying support roles and responsibilities. Some of my experience includes: Industrial experience: · Continuous chemical production · Wastewater treatment · Hazardous chemical remediation. Engineering experience: · Project engineering · Project management · Process design · Process installation, startup, operation, evaluation, and optimization · Process control system design, configuration, evaluation, and optimization · Computer process simulation (Aspen, CHEMCAD, ExSILentia, Excel) · Unit operations modeling and analysis · Process optimization · Process Safety Management development, auditing, and improvement · Operating procedures development · Operator supervision and training · Process hazard analysis (PHA) · Safety instrumented system (SIS) analysis and design · Customer management · Quality control. I can provide detailed specific project summaries and details upon request. Being the varying nature of engineering support projects within differing facilities, attempting to convey the specific details of each assignment could be a daunting read in an overview. I would be happy to provide supporting details outlining how my experience aligns with your specific need.

I am an engineer with experience in building websites and running businesses. I have 6 websites and 6 businesses. As my resume indicates, in May 2021, I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum engineering in addition to my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical engineering from Louisiana State University. I am also the recipient of a Master of Science degree in Petroleum engineering from Texas A&M University. I have acquired a sound overall knowledge of cutting-edge engineering principles, tools, and practices, with emphasis on designing, building and testing of chemical and petroleum systems. I am proficient in the use of various software solutions including ASPEN HYSYS, CMG, HINT, MATLAB, MICROSOFT, PETREL, PYTHON, and RESFRAC. I have applied classroom learning of Chemical and Petroleum engineering sciences to innovative and successful projects in which I served as principal designer. I am certified by the AIChE in Process Safety, CMG in Reservoir Simulation, MATLAB & PYTHON coding languages, and The Council of Six Sigma as a Black Belt. Looking forward to new opportunities.

I am a native English speaker and scientist with strong technical writing skills. I can grasp and implement complex concepts quickly. Then I write about them concisely and clearly. In my twenty years of experience in petroleum field exploration and appraisal geoscience, I proofread numerous documents at a multinational company, wrote sales flyers for multimillion-dollar data-room sales efforts, and presented prospects to outside energy companies. My biggest life accomplishment is helping discover three major deep-water oil and gas fields, proving up nearly 1.5 BBOE of recoverable hydrocarbons worth about $60,000,000,000. In my most recent role as a freelance technical writer and editor, I use InDesign or Word to create understandable, thorough product instruction manuals with a focus on consumer electronics products, mostly in the fitness and wellness space. I also write, review, and edit reports, manuals, website copy, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and instructions, always striving for uniformity, clarity, and accuracy. I've also prepared supporting Word reports, Excel documents, and PowerPoint presentations for technical reports, expenditure justifications, and peer reviews. I currently have a part-time job with an oil and gas production software company.

I’m a Data Analyst with a PhD in Petroleum Engineering who turns messy CSV/Excel/PDF/API data into clean datasets, KPI dashboards (Power BI/Tableau), forecasts, and A/B-test insights. I deliver decision-ready analytics fast—with documentation and a short Loom so your team can maintain it. WHAT I DELIVER • Dashboards: Executive KPIs for Sales, Finance, Ops, and Marketing in Power BI/Tableau (DAX, data model, scheduled refresh, RLS). • ETL & Data Cleaning: Python/SQL pipelines, Power Query, dbt/Airflow (light), API ingestion, PDF → Excel automation (OCR/regex). • Analytics & Experiments: Cohorts, retention/LTV, funnel analysis, A/B testing (power, significance, CUPED), attribution. • Forecasting & ML: Time series (ARIMA/Prophet/sklearn), churn/lead scoring, demand/pricing models—clear accuracy metrics. • Documentation & Handoff: Data dictionary, QA checks, reproducible notebooks, and a Loom walkthrough. WHY ME • PhD engineer rigor + business clarity: I explain the “so what,” not just charts. • Proven wins: Automated Power BI reporting (hours → minutes), batch PDF/Invoice → Excel pipelines, 12-week sales forecasts, pricing A/B test decisions. • Industry range: SaaS, e-commerce, ops/fulfillment, finance, and energy/process (see specialized profile). TOOLBOX (SEO keywords) Python, Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, Jupyter, SQL (Postgres/MySQL/MSSQL), Power BI, Tableau, Excel/Power Query, dbt, Airflow, APIs, Web Scraping, OCR, Regex, DAX, M, Git. HOW WE’LL WORK 1) Share a sample file or a short Loom with goals/KPIs. 2) I propose scope and a small milestone. 3) You get a clean model + dashboard + 2–3 actionable insights, with a Loom showing refresh steps. Based in Houston, Texas. Fixed-price packages or ongoing hourly—your choice.
