I lead technical manufacturing projects that improve automation, compliance, and operational readiness.

Message

I've led automation, MES, and regulated manufacturing initiatives for Novartis RLT, StarPlus Energy, GEODIS, and UPS. At StarPlus Energy, I managed MES implementation and operations for a 6 million-square-foot automated manufacturing plant, built and developed a 16-person systems team, and delivered production readiness four months ahead of schedule.

I'm a PMP project leader experienced in cGMP, EU Annex 1, ALCOA+, IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ANSI/ISA-95, automation, and continuous improvement. I also advance veterans' mental health and suicide prevention through strategic leadership, partnerships, and program delivery at The Realms of Asgard.
