• Built and scaled a Real-Time Operations Center from the ground up to 70+ employees, now operating as the central nervous system for hundreds of active rigs and frac fleets across major E&P operators and service partners. • Redesigned monitoring workflows and escalation frameworks that enabled a single ops team to manage 60% more assets within one year, without adding headcount. • Drove 15-second median response time across all customer support requests with a sustained 3.75/4.0 NSAT score, both metrics best-in-class for the space. • Built and deployed automation and GenAI tooling that reduced manual monitoring overhead, expanding rig coverage capacity without proportional team growth. • Led the architecture and rollout of Corva’s on-premise deployment model, opening an entirely new market segment alongside the existing cloud platform. • Established performance monitoring systems and SLAs across all ops functions, creating the measurement infrastructure that made everything above trackable and repeatable.

• Managed a 50+ person team delivering 24/7 real-time monitoring across drilling operations, maintaining continuous coverage through an on-call rotation I personally staffed. • Built the hiring and development pipeline that grew the team from early stage to 50+ — identifying, training, and retaining talent through volatile oilfield cycles where turnover is the norm. • Established QA/QC protocols for real-time data streams, catching data quality issues before they reached the client, reducing reprocessing and building operator trust in the platform. • Ran platform demos for operators and third-party service companies, directly contributing to pipeline generation and customer expansion during Corva’s growth phase. • Led on-site rig training for field personnel, bridging the gap between software capability and actual adoption at the wellsite.

• Monitored real-time data across 20+ simultaneous rigs, serving as the frontline for data accuracy and operational continuity. • Built early QA/QC habits that became the foundation for Corva’s broader data quality protocols — identifying and resolving issues in real-time before they impacted operator decisions. • Tracked and analyzed drilling KPIs to surface performance trends, giving operators actionable insight into where they were losing time or efficiency downhole. • Owned pre-deployment testing for staged systems, catching issues before they hit production and reducing rollout risk during a high-growth phase.

• Evaluated mineral rights and royalty interest acquisitions end-to-end — financial modeling, valuation, risk assessment, and deal structuring. • Negotiated acquisition terms directly with landowners and coordinated closings across legal, financial, and regulatory stakeholders. • Ran due diligence on target assets, verifying ownership, resolving title issues, and clearing deals for execution.

• Delivered 2D/3D seismic interpretation and well data integration across Gulf of Mexico deepwater projects using IHS Kingdom and Petra. • Administered 30 riserless well monitoring projects across 14 offshore rigs, covering real-time drilling parameters, lithology changes, and shallow hazard detection. • Prepared and filed shallow hazards assessment reports with BSEE, directly informing well design, mud weight plans, and location decisions. • Monitored real-time pore pressure on risered wells to TD, comparing pre-drill gradient models against live gamma ray, resistivity, and sonic logs — flagging deviations before they became problems. • Supported drill-the-well-on-paper (DWOP) sessions for 12 deepwater wells across six countries (Angola, Benin, Gabon, Gulf of Mexico, Malaysia, Nova Scotia). • Generated $5M+ in annual cost savings per operator by identifying drilling risks and hazards in real time.

• Managed survey accuracy and logging data correction on-site, operating M/LWD tool strings (inclination/azimuth, gamma ray, resistivity, sonic, density) across 12 rigs. • Led 20+ onsite engineering operations spanning the Eagleford, Haynesville, Permian, Niobrara, and Tuscaloosa basins — coordinating real-time with geologists and drillers. • Promoted twice (I → II → III) based on field performance and reliability.
