CAREER SUMMARY
My career started as a process engineer at Technical Department in Petrochemical Plant (Ethylene). Through troubleshooting process and project involvement, I had developed knowledge and understanding of various unit operation in terms of design and operation. I also developed design engineering skills and commissioning experience beneficial from implemented modification project on existing plant. Apart from that, I was area engineer for cracking furnace (critical process system) where I responsible to optimize overall plant production economic and provide solution for equipment performance sustainability and improvement.

Three years later, I changed my working environment from plant to engineering office where I work as process engineer in Process Department of Oil & Gas Engineering Company. My main responsibility is to perform process engineering design work and prepare various deliverables for plant design projects mainly oil & gas, refinery, and petrochemical industry. Through various projects involvement which characteristically differ from proposal, basic engineering design, front-end engineering design to detail engineering design, I had gained various experience include process modeling and simulation, equipment sizing, instrument sizing, engineering drawing preparation, operating manual and various report preparation.
