   Currently serving as the Overall Lead Designer (SPOC) for the Baytown Refinery Brownfield Program under ExxonMobil’s Direct to India (DTI) Program, and the Bakken Field Project.Working on brownfield facilities such as the Baytown Refinery has significantly strengthened my expertise in navigating legacy infrastructure, managing spatial constraints, resolving data inconsistencies, and coordinating across multiple disciplines in live operating environments. These projects require a high level of precision through as-built verification, risk-based planning, and tight interdisciplinary alignment—areas where I consistently deliver strong value.As part of the BOP-2X Expansion Project, I visited the Baytown Refinery in Houston, Texas, to conduct model reviews and constructability assessments. This hands-on site engagement enabled direct collaboration with field engineers and construction teams, ensuring accurate alignment between 3D designs and actual site conditions. It also allowed validation of spatial feasibility, access requirements, and installation sequencing to streamline execution and minimize rework.I actively leverage laser scan data, legacy markups, and advanced modeling tools such as Autodesk Advance Steel to deliver clash-free, constructible, and fit-for-purpose designs within tight project schedules. My ability to guide teams through technically demanding brownfield challenges supports safe and efficient modifications, while applying the same discipline, innovation, and design rigor to greenfield assignments such as the Bakken Field Project and Texas Ten Enhanced Oil Recovery FEED.
