Anthony
Hinojosa.
A decade on the refinery floor and in labs, with hands-on work in blasting, fireproofing, and emergency response. Currently exploring ways to apply programming and data skills to quality and operational challenges in industrial environments.
Six domains,
one operator.
Most lab techs don't write permits. Most safety leads don't fly Part 107. Most of either don't code. The value is the crossover, reading a chromatogram, an SDS, and a stack trace in the same shift.
Analytical Testing & Lab Ops
HPLC, GC, FTIR, UV-Vis, colorimetry, X-ray, melt index. Instrument checks, QC standardization, sample workflow, 5S.
Product Quality & Compliance
Go/no-go grading for polymers, glycols, and petroleum products. Custody-transfer documentation, third-party QA, cargo certification.
Safety & Emergency Response
NREMT medical response, industrial fire & rescue, HazMat operations, air monitoring, turnaround safety advisory.
Field Ops & Equipment
Forklift, skid steer, scissor/man lift. Elevated & confined space. Blasting, painting, fireproofing. FAA Part 107 UAS.
Leadership & Coordination
Night-shift lab POC, step-up supervisor, permit writer. Translates between lab, operations, engineering, and business.
Computer Science & AI
BS Computer Science, WGU. Focus: programming, AI/ML, data systems. Target: predictive quality analytics, digital twins, intelligent automation.
Field
record.
Five case studies drawn from active duty at GCGV, Bureau Veritas, voestalpine, and BrandSafway. Each follows the STAR structure.
Product quality grading at GCGV, go/no-go decisions on finished polymers and glycols.
EHS drone operations, aerial assessment for perimeter checks and incident response.
Turnaround safety training advisory, zero incidents across scoped areas.
Third-party QA, crude, ULSD, gasoline, VGO, VLSFO, jet fuel across multiple refineries.
Night-shift lab POC, primary decision hub when supervision is limited.
Looking for someone
who can read a P&ID and a stack trace?
I'm open to roles bridging industrial operations and emerging technology, quality analytics, safety systems, UAS programs, or teams building tools for the plant floor.
