Work History
Sustainability Specialist
Weatherford US LP
10.2023 - Current
- Leading global decarbonization initiatives under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Climate Challenge for Weatherford, developing energy intensity and emission reduction strategies across global operations – manufacturing and service facilities.
- Performed energy audits across several company facilities in the middle east, latin america and the U.S. achieving 3200 tonnes CO2e emissions reduction and $600k in annual cost savings within a 1-year span.
- Developed predictive Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) for enterprise-wide decarbonization prioritization. Currently leading this strategic project while managing an intern; results are directly informing the company’s long-term net zero roadmap.
- Built and managed cross-functional partnerships with real estate, supply chain, finance and IT teams to evaluate emissions data, secure alignment on decarbonization projects and drive implementation of reduction strategies across the value chain.
- Consistently communicated and presented progress to executive stakeholders including SVPs and the CEO.
- Identified and leveraged incentives and tax rebates across various regions, collaborating with utility teams to enroll facilities into continuous energy improvement programs, maximizing financial benefits. Partnered with supply chain team to analyze energy contracts, ensuring cost efficiency and sustainability across operations.
- Spearheaded the execution and launch of the Facility Improvement App, leading collaboration with IT for stakeholder communication and enterprise deployment to streamline and track progress on emissions and energy projects from facilities across the globe.
- Led renewable energy feasibility assessments in partnership with ORNL and HARC to explore on-site clean energy integration and scope pilot opportunities.
- Managed interns and led the creation of a global energy efficiency training guide, scaling energy best practices and enhancing internal capacity across the company’s global industrial footprint.
- Supported corporate sustainability reporting by collecting, analyzing, and reporting data for CDP, EcoVadis, TCFD, internal audits and the annual sustainability report.
- Presented at the U.S. DOE Better Plants Summit on financial analysis for industrial decarbonization; actively engaged in DOE/ORNL working groups and industrial decarbonization bootcamps.
Energy and Sustainability Analyst
TEAL Systems
05.2022 - 10.2023
- Applied industrial data science techniques for the TEAL network of integrated boiler and chiller plants for the purpose of analyzing energy usage, GHG emissions, and performance monitoring. Did substantial work in defining load inputs for heat pumps reduce standby losses and energy usage by 40%.
- Identified trends associated with the coincident peak program by ERCOT using data analytics followed by a full building energy analysis on eQUEST to implement demand response strategies resulting in an energy cost reduction of 15%. Introduced load forecasting to achieve grid optimal processes by applying machine learning concepts on Python.
- Reviewed carbon accounting standards and guidelines.
Research Intern
IIT Bombay/ IDP in Climate Studies
08.2020 - 08.2021
- Performed statistical analysis on Global Climate Model outputs and applied concepts in Stochastic Hydrology to study climate change impact on extreme precipitation over Ahmedabad city. Implemented a novel methodology for uncertainty quantification. R software was used to execute all parts of the study.
