About me

With over a decade rooted in the oil and gas energy sector, I've traversed the globe designing end-to-end chemical EOR and conformance projects, becoming a published author with 'Essentials of Polymer Flooding Technique' along the way. From the remote terrains of Eastern Europeans countries to the boardrooms of innovative French startups, I’ve worn many hats - from geologist to reservoir engineer and business development director. Today, I leverage AI in geosciences, particularly seismic interpretation, to refine subsurface understanding and tailor successful EOR projects. Partnering with companies offering cutting-edge solutions like light seismic monitoring and AI-enhanced seismic resolution and interpretation. My approach is all-encompassing: from digging deep into seismic data, all the way to EOR and on-the-fly monitoring. I'm passionate about solving complex geoscience challenges by cross-pollinating ideas and integrating disciplines. Whether it's chemical EOR, CCS, or geothermal energy, my mission remains consistent: to approach projects the pragmatic way—efficient, cost-effective, and successful.

Drawing from curiosity and a diverse skill set—spanning geology, chemistry, reservoir engineering, geophysics, financial analysis, and AI - I'm driven to connect the dots, ensuring the geosciences realm remains innovative and streamlined.
