What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can use lean process analysis, modeling, and hands-on troubleshooting to reduce waste and improve quality—partnering with manufacturing, engineering, and leadership to deliver measurable cost and performance results.

I’m a Mechanical Engineering professional who improves manufacturing outcomes by combining lean principles, rigorous data analysis, and practical root-cause troubleshooting. In my casting process work, I analyzed operations to identify inefficiencies and implemented corrective actions generating over $200K in annual cost savings.

I also support tooling readiness and production quality by managing large tooling portfolios and releasing compliant CAD, drawings, and technical documentation. From rotor/shaft performance evaluations to developing and validating new die warm-up processes, I focus on translating trial data into clear recommendations for engineering and operations leadership.
