SUMMARY
I am currently a senior Process Safety Engineer in which I facilitate Process Hazard Analysis by
use of the HAZOP and What-if techniques to identify high risk hazards within Chevron and I
perform OE and PSM audits within Chevron businesses. I am a trained instructor for Managing
Process Safety (MPS) in Chevron and Management of Change (MOC) classes. In a previous job
I held the position of a Senior Mechanical Reliability Engineer with extensive experience in
refineries and chemical plants. I have expertise in reliability of fixed equipment including safety
relief devices, pressure vessels, piping, and specialty valves. I have extensive knowledge of
specialized computer programs including Plant Condition Management System (PCMS), PHAPro
Process Safety reporting program, and Excel. My key strengths include process safety
management systems in accordance with OSHA 1910.119, knowledge of codes and standards,
team leadership, and communication. I was a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for relief devices at a
refinery in Texas City.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
 Trained instructor for the 4 day MPS in Chevron class and for the 2 day MOC class. I have co-
instructed 5 MPS in Chevron classes in various location including Houston; Luanda, Angola; and
Lekki, Nigeria. I had the opportunity to update the MPS in Chevron presentation to help give clarity
to the relief protective devices and effluence headers portion of the slide deck.
 Trained auditor for OE and PSM Audits within Chevron. I have performed 5 OE and PSM Audits
within Chevron which included the PSM topics Technical Codes and Standards (TC&S), Process
Safety Information (PSI), and Asset Integrity (AI). I performed the audits in refineries including 1 at
BAPCO in Bahrain and 1 at the Chevron shipping company. I also performed 4 peer reviews on the
OE elements, PSM standards, and SIDs in various locations within EMC, shipping and
transportation, and NMA in Lekki, Nigeria.
 Trained Facilitator for Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) including HAZOP Technique, Layers of
Protection Analysis (LOPA), and What-if evaluation. I also have been trained in the IHAZID process
as a Facilitator for Chevron. I have facilitated 6 major HAZOP studies (a Pipestills unit, 3 high
pressure reformer units, an environmental facility, and a Sulfur Recovery Unit) within the refining
industry. I also performed several minor HAZOPs, Mechanical design, and what-if studies within
Chevron. I have extensive knowledge in the field of Risk Management by the use of the PHA
techniques listed above in which I have reduced the refinery Safety Risk profile, reduced the
Environmental Reportable incidences, and improved the Financial Performance.
 Developed the Electrical Area Classification (FPM-DC-6987) specification for Chevron to support
the API RP 500 and 505 recommended practices, the NFPA 30, 70, 496, and 497 codes, and the
existing Chevron Engineering specification and Fire Protection Specifications.
 Developed safety relief device reliability / maintenance program for a Texas City refinery which
included a proper maintenance process for safety relief devices, a root cause failure analysis
process for failed safety relief devices, and established a computerized program to properly track all
processes that may be performed on safety relief devices. Developed Risk Based Inspection (RBI)
policies and procedures for safety relief devices that predicts failures and establishes inspection
frequencies through the use of actual repair history of safety relief devices.

2.  Provided extensive training on the topic of relief devices to all levels of personnel including
Operation, Maintenance, Technical, and Middle management. The training includes basic operation
of safety devices, typical design errors in the relief systems, reliability demonstration of actual
failures, and guidance on what can be done at the employee point-of-view in maintaining a safe and
reliable relief system.
 Chaired the Joint PCMS User Group committee to re-design the relief devices module for the
PCMS program. The re-design included the total reconstruction of the relief devices module within
PCMS by establishing proper data fields, terms definitions, and calculations to predict failures and
determine relief device inspection frequencies. This re-design was supported by all other
users/owners of PCMS.
 Provided expertise and knowledge to redesign a special high pressure letdown valve (Drag Valve)
for the refinery. This redesign eliminated the fires that routinely occurred on the high pressure unit.
This change also increased valve life and reliability. Fires were prominent with this valve due to the
high cyclic duty, high pressure, high temperature, and unique process properties.
 Provide expertise to solve long term reliability issues on heat exchangers such as tube leaks,
flanges design, and tube arrangement. Issues such as how to find and repair tube leaks with
minimum effort. Determining minimum flange thickness for sealing issues and construction.
