Message

At APPLIED MEMBRANES INC., I serve as the technical lead for NPI build readiness across approximately 15 concurrent engineered-system programs valued at $10M+. I manage build matrices, material forecasting, Clear-to-Build status, and manufacturing and supplier readiness through final delivery.

I built a digital manufacturing workflow and quality reporting solution connecting production, ERP, planning, and sales data, eliminating manual production reporting. I also perform data analysis and visualization using Excel and Microsoft Copilot.

Earlier, at PODAR EDUCATION NETWORK, I managed construction, building material, maintenance, and facility procurement, including supplier agreements and Annual Maintenance Contracts. Across my work in procurement and manufacturing, I’ve qualified suppliers, reviewed engineering drawings, and supported engineered systems and components for industrial, automotive, and water treatment applications.
