Leon Yeap

Reliability engineer · AI automation

AI that understands how heavy industry actually runs.

I'm Leon Yeap, a mechanical engineer with 19 years in maintenance, reliability and asset integrity across LNG, refining, mining and water. I build AI agents and automation that find and fix the errors buried in maintenance data, checked by someone who knows what a bad PM can cost.

01What I do

Engineering judgement first. Then automate what can safely be automated.

AI agents for maintenance data

Copilot and LLM agents that check CMMS records against business rules, standards and safety requirements, then hand engineers a ranked list of gaps instead of a spreadsheet to trawl.

  • Copilot Studio
  • Claude
  • Power Automate
  • JDE / Maximo

Data QA/QC & migration automation

Tooling that reconciles tags, PMs, job plans, inspection records and drawings across systems, so migrations and alignment projects finish with data you can trust.

  • Python
  • Access / VBA
  • Meridium
  • Visions IDMS

Reliability & maintenance strategy

RCM, FMECA, risk-based inspection and SRS/SIF alignment, delivered by someone who has run the workshops and built the hierarchies on operating plants.

  • RCM
  • FMECA
  • RBI
  • SRS / SIF
02Selected work

Chevron · Gorgon & Wheatstone LNG

Copilot agent that audits the CMMS

Built a custom Copilot AI agent to check large CMMS data sets against complex business rules, turning a manual line-by-line review into an automated first pass for engineers.

→ AI-assisted CMMS audit

Chevron · Wheatstone Platform & LNG Plant

8,000-tag PM validation

Reviewed tags, PMs and job plans against the SRS after years of MOC changes: corrected frequencies and IC/SIF classifications, added missed PMs, and rebuilt the rest into executable work orders.

→ 4,220 hours saved per year

Chevron via Crystalise

RBI damage-loop consolidation

Restructured structural damage-loop tags and PMs, using an automated Access tool to rebuild the programs without data errors.

→ 615 → 92 PMs · A$439,500/yr

Chevron · PSV campaign

5-year PSV schedule optimiser

Wrote a resource-levelling algorithm that models location, due dates and criticality to generate an optimised five-year PSV campaign theme and schedule.

→ Levelled 5-year campaign
