  As part of Convergent Science, Inc which is an automotive Tier 1 supplier, I Assist clients in adopting new applications by resolving complex issues, creating customized functions, and executing advanced scripts.
  
  It is worth mentioning that I engage in customer-facing activities to optimize productivity and streamline workflows, aligning with the organization's objectives.
  I often partner with the Development Team to pinpoint and assist with rectifying code-related challenges. Engage in biweekly presentations to review ongoing projects and implementations.
  I also carried out collaborations with other team members to conduct comprehensive software testing for new releases, resolving any issues to enhance overall functionality.
  Few of my accomplishments are stated below:
  • Conducted in-person and virtual training sessions to onboard and mentor approximately 100 new clients on latest products/services.
  • Created and validated example cases using new versions to ensure user-friendliness.
  • Simulated engines, turbo machinery e-mobility applications, multiphase, and other simulations in related areas

• July 2017 - November 2017
  Lead Engineer
  Baker Hughes
  

  Houston, TX, USA

  As Lead Engineer I implemented cutting-edge technology to optimize business structure and operations.
  I was entrusted with conducting rigorous testing to validate new product designs and ensure adherence to industry best practices and government regulations.
  Furthermore, I offered expert user support to optimize engine functionality and usage.
  Moreover, I also contributed to legacy GMV engine upgrade plans for across the the natural gas pipeline industry.
  Underneath listed are my key-achievements:
  • Evaluated in-cylinder performance of two-stroke, direct-injection, spark-ignited natural gas engines, and analyzed gas exchange and combustion, including natural gas injection.
  • Assisted in the steereing the new product and technology development for natural gas-fired, SI engines in an R&D environment, such as patented direct fuel-gas injection systems for low-pressure applications.
  • Led 1-D and 0-D analysis of engine performance, including engine and turbocharger analysis, 0-D analysis for the sizing and matching of turbochargers, and 3-D analysis for in-cylinder combustion performance and design.

• June 2014 - July 2017
  Sr Engineer
  GE Oil & Gas
  

  Houston, TX, USA

  As a Senior engineer at GE Oil & Gas I collaborated as team member in designing large-bore engines and played an active role in reducing emissions.
  I was entrusted to contribute to R&D initiatives for natural gas-fired SI engines, specializing in turbocharged, two-stroke, lean-burn, direct-injection engines, and developing new products and technology.
  Furthermore, I contributed to in-cylinder analysis of natural gas-fired, spark-ignited, two-stroke engines with direct injection, analyzing gas exchange to combustion, including natural gas injection.
  Some of my notable accomplishments are as follows:
  • Part of the leadership team for the launch of new product to fill gap in natural gas pipeline compression market by conducting market research and collaborating with cross-functional teams to evaluate aftermarket strategies and identify ways to reduce capital costs structures.
  • Provided support for finite element analysis (FEA) in design of reciprocating compressors and engines, ensuring alignment with goal to reduce mechanical failures and enhance functionality.
  • Implemented 3-D analysis to improve in-cylinder combustion performance and design processes.
  • Conducted 1-D and 0-D analysis on engine performance, turbocharger/engine interaction, and large bore engine testing.

  Engineer III
  Cameron
  

  Houston, TX, USA

  During my time here, I oversaw TA2020 product production testing, performance, and identification of any issues.
  I am a quick and motivated learner who performed thermal analysis for reciprocating engines, compressors, and turbochargers.
  I was entrusted with leading FEA analysis of compressors and natural gas-fired engines.
  One of my key tasks was to perform CFD simulations to analyze heat transfer in reciprocating, two- and four-stroke, spark-ignited engines that run on natural gas.
  Moreover, I also later led CFD analysis with a specific focus on combustion inside the cylinder.
  Within this role, I had following achievements:
  • Provided finite element analysis (FEA) to reduce failures in reciprocating compressor design and engine components.
  • Evaluated CFD simulations of two-stroke, natural gas-fired engines to improve combustion and reduce emissions.
