About Steven Parente

I am an accomplished engineer and leader with demonstrated success developing standardized product offerings and leading diverse teams from concept through delivery. I am most obsessed with delivering best in class service and solutions to customers and stakeholders. This commitment energizes me in my work and keeps me coming back day after day.Developing end-to-end solutions to challenging problems through data collection and analysis is my passion. Turning ambiguous requirements into a finished product is second nature to me. I love projects where I can use my coding expertise to solve big data problems, draw conclusions from detailed process models, or just to automate those repetitive tasks.I am a Professional Engineer and \"Double Jacket\" having earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from Georgia Institute of Technology. My career has largely been focused in the industrial gases industry, particularly in hydrogen production, compression, and storage. More recently in my career, I led a team with responsibility for development of hydrogen refueling stations to support current and future Hydrogen for Mobility (H2fM) applications.Currently, I leverage my years of experience in hydrogen projects at Caterpillar as Hydrogen Infrastructure and Integration Engineering Specialist. In this role, I support Caterpillar\'s and our customer\'s Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) goals by providing technical and commercial leadership for hydrogen-fueled power generation and FCEV projects.Do you share my interests and passions?
