Leading a team of employees across US and Canada to ensure safety, reliability/maintainability and optimized Asset Management of TC's Liquid assets using AI/ML and digital transformation. Highlights include -

• Developed reliability and asset optimization strategies for Liquids business- achieved 99% uptime on system resulting in record performance in the history of the asset
• Ideated and implemented strategic digitalization of work orders and automating work execution plans using IoT - achieved 30% reduction in maintenance man-hours
• Championed multiple continuous improvement programs such as 'repeat failure resolution', life cycle assessment and optimized PM program - achieved Operational Expense reduction of ~3% amounting to savings of $4MM
• Leading process safety and EHS for the business with trackable metrics; implemeting 'zero is real' goal
• Collaborated with other teams within the business to establish and deliver technology driven work process road-maps - lead the way for operational data driven capital spend
• Coached and mentored engineers and field technicians - building a culture of ownership towards problem solving
• Planning and execution of organizational changes while maintaining productivity.

Lead a Petroleum Quality Management initiative across the Liquid business vertical.

• Collaborated across teams in the US and Canada to establish business processes for benchmarking and performance tracking of crude quality at TC facilities

• Implemented quality enhancement initiatives to attract wider customer interest in shipping product in TC pipelines

• Successfully developed Business Intelligence tools for automating crude quality reporting for senior leadership and shippers

Multiple Operations Engineering responsibilities with progressive leadership experience.
• Managed commissioning and linefill activities for the Gulf Coast Pipeline including development of back pressure control philosophy, separation and venting methodology, leak detection control narrative and facility flooding plans
• Developed TransCanada's Transient Hydraulic Analysis model, PID tuning for valves and Process Design Specification documents including improved pressure control and overpressure protection philosophies
• Analyzed, reviewed and drove design changes to new facilities from a hydraulics and control room operation perspective

Developed an optimization model for Gas Turbine engine operation for reduced overboard bleed loss (DLE and non-DLE engines). This involved Gas Path Analysis (GPA) which was implemented using commercially available GasTurb11 software.
• Developed and integrated a predictive model to monitor performance degradation in Gas Turbine engines by implementing Gas Path Analysis
• Accomplished a CFD model (in ANSYS FLUENT) to simulate the dynamics of sudden decompression due to fracture in high pressure (>15 MPa) pipes
• Analyzed the design of pipe networks for flow induced vibrations at T-junctions and ball valves as a part of the Keystone XL Pipeline project

• Compiled, modeled and reported on prototype aircraft aerodynamic data for senior staff
• Helped in the design of a mini-aerial vehicle using principles of dynamic stall on airfoils. Modeled prototype in SolidWorks
• Authored 2 international journal publications with colleagues and mentors
• Advanced research by organizing data, generating spreadsheets and drafting reports.
