What I'm looking for
I’m a Quality Assurance & Process Improvement specialist with 7+ years of experience building and driving quality management systems, compliance, and process optimization across manufacturing industries. I lead ISO certifications and translate audit requirements into practical, measurable operational gains.
In my recent roles, I’ve designed and standardized internal processes to reduce workflow inefficiencies through automation and AI-enabled integrations. I’ve led ISO 9001 and SMETA audit planning and execution for zero critical non-conformities, enforced compliance to EU Regulation No. 10/2011 for 5+ international clients, and strengthened documentation systems with process flowcharts and KPI dashboards.
I also take an end-to-end approach through integrated management systems and supplier risk controls, including anti-bribery compliance under ISO 37001. Highlights include securing INEN 100:2014 (2023–2026), achieving SMETA 4 Pillars (2023–2026), and leading ISO 9001:2015 recertification with zero major findings (2024–2027), alongside tracking 100+ preventive and corrective improvement actions to keep quality performance moving.
