Profile

Process-aware chemist with a precision-first mindset

Dedicated analytical chemist and quality specialist with five years of hands-on experience spanning chlor-alkali production, industrial water chemistry, and large-scale EPC project quality management.

Proficient across the full analytical toolkit — titrimetric, gravimetric, photometric, and instrumental analysis — with deep working knowledge of brine purification, electrolysis parameters, and finished product testing. Currently applying the same precision-driven approach to mega-project quality assurance at Red Sea Global's Shura Island development.

Holds three ISO management system certifications (9001, 14001, 45001) with an established track record of zero non-conformances in lab audits and zero client rejections across all site handovers.
