What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead electrode manufacturing optimization, equipment commissioning, and production ramp-up within collaborative, innovation-driven teams focused on battery scale-up.

I am a chemical engineer with 4+ years of experience in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, focused on electrode process optimization, equipment commissioning, and production ramp-up across international sites.

I have a proven track record improving yield (+7%), reducing scrap (-20%), leading industrialization projects, and delivering cost and efficiency gains through SPC, DoE, and supplier integration.

I am passionate about scaling next-generation battery production and bring hands-on experience in FAT/SAT, documentation and standards management, Lean Six Sigma practices, and cross-site coordination to drive reliable, high-quality manufacturing.
