Citgo Refinery; Calcasieu River, LA IT Support

Working within the oil and gas sector, I responded to a variety of drills and emergencies across the United States, including the Citgo Refinery oil spill on the Calcasieu River in Louisiana in 2006, as well as the Safe Seas 2006 exercise. Recognizing the need for efficient incident management, I developed a custom service desk system utilizing php, MySql, and HTML.

This innovative solution streamlined the tracking of resources, personnel, and logistics during both training exercises and real-world crises. Due to its effectiveness and adaptability, the system I created was subsequently deployed in response to major oil spill events like Deepwater Horizon and the San Francisco spill, demonstrating its value in mitigating environmental impact and coordinating response efforts.
