Ahmed AlBuessa — Mechanical & Reliability Engineer

8+ years across multinational operators — Suncor, Shell, ExxonMobil, and BP — in oil sands, oilfields, and refinery environments. Specializing in equipment reliability, pressure equipment fitness-for-service, and piping integrity on SAGD assets in the Alberta oil sands.

Currently applying that field experience to building engineering tools — combining deep domain knowledge with Python, AI, and modern web tech to solve real problems faster.

Engineering knowledge + AI tools

Most engineering software is built by software engineers who don't understand the field. I'm going the other way — a field engineer learning to build the tools that are actually missing.

Current focus: RCFA support tools, piping calculations, equipment strategy assistants — all backed by a private self-hosted AI model that understands engineering context.
