What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles driving automation and process improvements in collaborative, data-driven teams where I can lead projects, scale Industry 4.0 solutions, and improve KPIs.

I am a manufacturing engineer with proven success leading automation, Industry 4.0, and process-improvement projects that deliver measurable KPI and cost-saving results in high-volume production environments.

I have led MES commissioning for a $167M greenfield facility, implemented vision systems integrated with WMS to reduce human error by 30%, and delivered automation solutions that improved line efficiency by 45%.

I combine hands-on PLC and robotics experience with CAD design, ERP/MES analysis, and Lean Six Sigma methods to drive scalable quality and productivity improvements across multi-site manufacturing operations.
