What I'm looking for

I’m eager to leverage my emerging data science skills, including Python and data analysis, to drive data-informed efficiency improvements in an engineering role.

At Fresenius Kabi, I partnered with Maintenance on electrical design modifications for high-speed pharmaceutical equipment, improving throughput by 8%. I also developed SOPs and conducted machine studies to standardize start-up and shutdown procedures.

I worked with Maintenance teams at Fresenius Kabi to resolve recurring faults, delivering a 10% reduction in unplanned downtime. My work there builds on hands-on experience with electrical troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.

At Smithfield Foods, I troubleshot, tested, and repaired 480 V motor control centers and distributed I/O. I maintained records for audit compliance and trained junior technicians on troubleshooting and safety protocols.

I’m developing my data science skills through a B.S. in Data Science at University of Maryland Global Campus and a Cornell University certificate in Python for Data Science. I’m interested in applying Python and data analysis to engineering efficiency improvements.
