With two decades at the forefront of the oil and gas industry, I bridge cutting-edge technology and energy exploration & production to drive digital transformation. As a seasoned entrepreneur and technologist, I specialize in revolutionizing petrophysics, formation evaluation, reservoir characterization, and production optimization through intelligent automation and advanced analytics.

Expertise & Impact:

My career spans pioneering roles at industry giants (Aramco, BP, SLB) and independents (BHP Billiton), where I’ve led innovation in log interpretation, reservoir modeling, and geoscience software development. By integrating machine learning and AI, I’ve built scalable solutions like Petrophysics Intelligence systems that accelerate decision-making, reduce operational costs, and unlock hidden value in complex datasets.

Leadership & Collaboration:

A recognized technical leader, I’ve spearheaded global projects, chaired conference committees, and collaborated with academia to shape industry standards. My PhD from the University of Texas at Austin’s Formation Evaluation Consortium underpins my passion for solving high-impact challenges—from offshore deepwater reservoirs (Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, North Sea) to onshore shale plays (Eagle Ford, Haynesville) and Middle East carbonates.

Entrepreneurial Vision:

Award-winning developer of geoscience computational tools, I merge hands-on field experience with digital innovation to empower teams. My work focuses on maximizing data value—whether through cloud-native platforms, AI-driven workflows, or digital twin integrations—to support corporate digitalization and sustainable energy practices.

Global Footprint:

From optimizing tight gas in Wyoming to enhancing coalbed methane recovery in the San Juan Basin, my technical insights have driven success across six continents. I thrive where geology meets technology, turning raw data into actionable strategies for reservoir performance.

Driven by a mission to redefine energy innovation, I champion agile, data-first solutions that prepare the industry for tomorrow’s challenges.
