Professional profile
A career spanning field engineering, R&D and learning.
My work sits at the intersection of technical credibility and communication: building solutions, validating them in the field, and helping specialists understand and apply complex engineering concepts.
Science and engineering educator with a PhD in Reservoir Engineering, substantial university and corporate training experience, and a long record of international technical project work. Experienced in subsurface hydraulics, well stimulation, well intervention, production logging, reservoir diagnostics, geological carbon storage and data-driven engineering workflows.
