About

I am a Senior Process Engineer specializing in the bridge between traditional Steady-State Design and high-fidelity Dynamic Simulation. My expertise lies in transforming complex P&IDs into robust Digital Twins that ensure operational readiness and process safety for global energy leaders. With over 5 years of experience across the EPC lifecycle, I have led critical simulation phases—including FDS, MAT, and INTAT/ETS—for major offshore assets such as Sleipner (Equinor) and Yggdrasil (Aker BP). My technical toolkit includes K-Spice, LedaFlow, Aspen HYSYS, which I use to validate control logic and optimize transient behavior. I am passionate about delivering cost-effective engineering solutions, from initial BFD/PFD development to advanced hydraulic calculations and technical bid evaluations. Currently, I am focused on leveraging simulation-driven insights to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of upstream and industrial systems.
