Pastel

Soft and human, with a calm green palette, a sidebar layout and a gentle timeline

Is this the right layout?

Warm, approachable roles

Use Pastel when you want a softer green palette and a sidebar that keeps profile details separate from the main story. Keep your introduction brief and use the timeline to explain experience in order. Check that project images work alongside the lighter colours.

Projects

Carbon Capture & Utilization Pilot

Carbon Capture & Utilization Pilot

Design and commissioning of a 1-ton/day pilot plant converting industrial CO2 into methanol.

Situation: Industrial CO2 emissions needed a viable utilisation route at pilot scale.

Task: Design and commission a 1-ton/day plant converting CO2 into methanol.

Action: Designed a custom internal cooling-coil system, validated through CFD simulations, to address reactor heat-transfer limitations.

Result: Delivered a SIL 2-compliant pilot plant with a fully automated safety instrumented system for high-pressure hydrogen handling.

Nanoparticle Catalyst Synthesis

Nanoparticle Catalyst Synthesis

Optimizing yield and size distribution of gold nanoparticles for catalytic applications.

Situation: Catalytic performance was limited by inconsistent nanoparticle yield and sizing.

Task: Improve yield and tighten size distribution of gold nanoparticles.

Action: Used Design of Experiments (DoE) to identify optimal temperature and precursor concentration.

Result: Increased yield by 40% with a reproducible synthesis protocol.
