What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining operations and technical expertise where I can optimize processes, improve AI-driven workflows, and support stakeholder coordination in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a mechanical engineer with an M.Sc. in Engineering & Management, experienced in operations, manufacturing engineering, requirements engineering, and AI model evaluation. I have managed full administrative and financial operations for a small business while delivering process improvements, technical documentation, and stakeholder communication that boost operational transparency and efficiency.

I have hands-on manufacturing experience at John Deere, where I designed production support equipment, improved assembly processes, and led a seat-frame provisioning project, and I have worked as a freelance AI evaluator performing dataset QA and annotation to improve LLM outputs. I seek roles that combine technical problem solving, process optimization, and AI-driven improvements to create measurable business impact.
