Writer：NeoNeeet

User-Side Chemical Plant Engineer (Specializing in Batch Operations)
A man in his late 40s.
Majored in mechanical engineering at university and has worked for about 20 years as a mechanical engineer (production technology) at a chemical plant. He also has experience in manufacturing operations and production planning.

When I joined the company, there was little concept of structured training, and I had to rely mainly on self-learning. I remember feeling deeply frustrated by how difficult it was to find clear and reliable information about what I needed to know.
That experience sparked my interest in sharing key knowledge.
Here, I’m putting into words what I’ve learned over the years—focusing on the essential knowledge I wish I had when starting out.
