As an engineer, I am always passionate about ensuring that the application of technology is done in an economical manner. From my studies and practice, I have realised that several avoidable costs crop up during projects that it takes a high level of meticulousness and frugality to minimise. As such, I always seek to reduce cost as much as possible in every venture I am involved in without compromising quality, safety and environmental considerations. I have previously worked as a cost engineer for an oilfield equipment and software vendor, where I had considerably reduce procurement costs and thus selling prices for the company's deals. I am thus excited by the opportunity to leverage upon my skills and experience in a more challenging environment to add value to the company's activities.

I recently worked as a Flow Assurance Engineer for a major operator, where I conducted experiments, validated numerical models and provided technical support for flow assurance in field operations. A previous job had involved pipeline route selection, flow assurance, condition-based maintenance, operations benchmarking and contractor management. I hold both master's and a bachelor's degrees in Petroleum Engineering, each with compulsory modules and my research project on production optimization and flow assurance. I have also completed several relevant short courses and am proficient in several specialist software as detailed on my CV.
