What the role asks for

Requirements on the left, what I actually have on the right. Depth is self-rated and deliberately honest — anything that is working knowledge rather than production experience says so.

Things I built that you can look at

Working systems, not coursework. Several are live and clickable.

Oilfield operations dashboard

SQL · multi-source joins · web app · built with Claude Code

Pulls production, cost and operational records from separate systems into one executive view, with the joins and unit reconciliation that field data always needs before it can be compared.

Company Man dashboard

vision extraction · local-first · nginx · built with Claude Code and Codex

A rig-site reporting tool for the company man. Photograph the tank board, the mud report, the morning numbers — the app reads them, returns a formatted report and a mobile dashboard the office can open. Runs on the company man's own laptop with a folder connection, or hosted.

Built from seven years of field experience with how rig-site data is captured and re-entered. Product page →

Experience

Seven years on active drilling rigs across the Permian and Delaware Basins, and a master's in petroleum engineering from New Mexico Tech. I catch the sample, run the chromatograph, call the top — and I build the dashboards that the data ends up in.

Senior Wellsite Geologist / Mud Logging Unit Supervisor

EDGE Services · Midland & Odessa, TX and Carlsbad / Jal, NM
  • Ran the mud logging unit as senior man on horizontal Bone Spring and Wolfcamp programs in Eddy and Lea Counties, NM and Midland Basin wells out of Midland/Odessa, TX.
  • Interpolated formation tops and assisted the operator geologist in picking kick-off points, landing points and casing points from sample and log correlation, keeping laterals in zone.
  • Described cuttings, evaluated fluorescence, cut and gas shows, and issued real-time show calls that drove coring, testing and completion decisions.
  • Quality-checked mud log, LWD/MWD and directional survey data before delivery; caught depth, lag and sensor discrepancies before they reached the client.
  • Provided continuous well control surveillance — pit levels, flow, trip tank and gas trends — and alerted the driller and company man to influx, lost circulation and hole-cleaning problems.
  • Trained and mentored junior mud loggers; maintained and repaired unit sensors, gas traps and data acquisition hardware in the field.
  • Built Power BI dashboards over the same drilling and geological data — the analytics half of the same job.

Wellsite Geologist / Mud Logger

Weatherford International · Paladin Geological Services · Selman & Associates · SE New Mexico & West Texas
  • Manned mud logging units on Delaware Basin horizontals across Eddy and Lea Counties, NM (Carlsbad, Jal, Hobbs, Loving, Artesia) and Midland Basin wells staged out of Midland and Odessa, TX.
  • Caught, washed and described cuttings at prescribed intervals through Bone Spring, Wolfcamp, Delaware Sand, Avalon, Yeso and San Andres sections; correlated to offset logs to call tops and confirm landing depth.
  • Operated and calibrated gas chromatographs (C1–C5); monitored total, connection and trip gas; used gas ratio analysis for pay identification; monitored H2S and responded to alarms.
  • Monitored pit volumes, flow-in/flow-out and trip tank for kick detection; reported lost-circulation zones through Rustler/Salado salt and fractured intervals and supported mud-weight decisions.
  • Owned data quality control at the wellsite — the first line of defense for records feeding engineering, regulatory and public reporting.
  • Produced and transmitted daily mud logs, gas ratio plots and end-of-well reports; maintained sample inventory and shipping to operator and state requirements.
  • Worked remote locations on 12-hour tours, night shifts, weekends and extended hitches.
 

Quality Assurance Manager

GeoTek USA
  • Owned quality assurance across field projects — on-site inspections verifying execution against project plans and quality standards, catching issues before they reached the client.
  • Collected field data and maintained project records and QA documentation in an audit-ready state.
  • Coordinated across field crews, office teams and clients to keep jobs on schedule and to specification; escalated deviations early and drove corrective actions to closure.

Data & Automation Engineer

Independent consultant · New Mexico
  • Build data and reporting automation for oilfield and professional-services clients in SQL and Power BI, using AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) — production, cost and operational datasets.
  • Remained available for field call-out throughout; oilfield domain work is the core of the practice.
