Identified flow-induced resonance as the failure mechanism in TFM bellows sealed control valve experiencing trim degradation at 50-80% stroke. * Building a physics-based analytical model treating trim assembly as a stroke dependent cantilever, with resonance prediction via Strouhal number (vortex shedding frequency) * Developing an Artificial intelligence (AI) assisted decision framework validated against Flowserve field failure data to recommend a suitable plug type for given operating conditions. This r

I focused on resolving dry gas seal failures across the EMEA region by using DMAIC methodology and conducting thorough root-cause analyses. * Analyzed seal system operating conditions and the performance of filters, control valves, boosters, and heaters using DCS data and P&IDs to identify the root cause of failures. * Converted RCA insights into an approved upgrade solution, securing a €500K order and generating measurable business value. * Performed application-based FMEA and risk assessments of system f

I had the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge design engineering projects at Materialise, where I honed my skills in additive manufacturing. * Developed a benchmark component for performance assessment in SLM technology, enhancing understanding of geometrical features. * Achieved a 40% reduction in volume and 30% in deformation through FEA-driven redesign of components. * Applied design for additive manufacturing principles, streamlining the prototyping process for both metal and plastic compon

At Flowserve Corporation, I played a key role as a Design Engineer, focusing on the design and optimization of control valves for severe service applications. * Designed control valves for severe service, high-pressure, cryogenic, and oxygen service in accordance with DIN, ASME, ISO, EN, and AD2000 standards. * Contributed to a €1M chlorine valve order by driving technical discussions, design reviews, valve strength calculations, and final design. * Redesigned a Kammer pneumatic actuator using DFMA, FEA, c

* Designed precision mechanical components for hydraulic systems across 18 industrial projects. * Delivered production-ready 2D drawings adhering to GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis. * Streamlined operator onboarding with SOP-driven standardized workflows. * Implemented poka-yoke techniques and kaizen-driven fixture design to eliminate process variation.

I contributed to the development and quality assurance of new products. My responsibilities included creating 3D CAD models of precision components, preparing manufacturing drawings, developing SOPs for standard workflows, supporting the quality department with inspections, and implementing root cause analysis using 7QC tools to improve manufacturing efficiency.
