I am a Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Engineer with more than 25 years of hands-on experience in painting, coating, insulation, fireproofing, and welding inspection within the oil and gas industry.

Throughout my career, I have worked on major oil & gas, refinery, petrochemical, and industrial construction projects across the Middle East, representing leading organizations such as ADMA-OPCO, TAKREER, ADNOC, GASCO in Abu Dhabi, PDO (Petroleum Development Oman), as well as several EPC and construction companies.

My professional experience includes:

• Protective coating inspection
• Surface preparation inspection
• Welding inspection and QA/QC activities
• Fireproofing and insulation inspection
• Pipeline and structural coating inspection
• Compliance with international standards and inspection procedures
• Industrial quality assurance systems in high-risk environments

I am also professionally certified as:

• AMPP Certified Coating Inspector – Level 3
• BGAS Grade 2 Coating Inspector

Over the years, I have gained extensive field experience in maintaining quality standards, inspection procedures, safety compliance, and project documentation for critical industrial facilities.

Through Oil & Gas Inspectors Forum, my goal is to share practical field knowledge, inspection techniques, engineering concepts, and simplified technical guidance to support students, beginners, inspectors, and working professionals involved in QA/QC, coating inspection, welding inspection, corrosion prevention, and oil & gas industry operations.

This platform was created to help bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical field inspection experience by providing easy-to-understand industrial content, technical articles, and educational resources.
