Jan 2019 - Sep 2019
I analyzed the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) process through modeling and optimally matched FCC Catalyst Technologies with specific refinery needs with the goal of maximizing value for both the customer and BASF. In addition, I supported the sales team by analyzing operating or testing data.

May 2018 - Dec 2018
I had full production engineering responsibility over two aqueous catalyst plants. I actively participated in troubleshooting day-to-day quality and equipment issues. I also assisted in capital projects that were completed in the plants I covered. In addition, I completed a Lean Six Sigma project to increase capacity of a sold out reduction unit.

Sep 2017 - May 2018
I worked as a process engineer in BASF's performance materials division. I supported in the final planning and testing of an automated visual inspection prototype used to inspect products. I also led a Lean Six Sigma project to reduce the reject rate of the products and to decrease the cleaning frequency of the mold lines. In addition, I assisted in the remediation of customer complaints and production upsets.
