What I'm looking for

I seek remote or international roles in operations or production where I can lead teams, implement lean improvements, manage KPIs, and drive cost and productivity gains.

I am a proactive, analytical Industrial Engineer with hands-on experience optimizing production, managing KPIs, and leading operations teams across manufacturing and logistics environments.

I have directed plant operations for maquila and prefabricated products, supervised up to 42 employees, administered ERP systems, and achieved cost and productivity improvements while managing procurement, inventory and maintenance programs.

I am bilingual (Spanish/English), ISO 9001 certified, and eager to contribute to global or remote teams where I can apply lean principles, improve processes, and drive measurable operational performance.
