What I'm looking for

I'm looking to improve manufacturing and operational performance through data analytics, digital automation, Lean practices, quality systems, and process improvement.

At Ultravetis East Africa, I improve manufacturing reporting, data quality, and operational workflows through digital automation and Lean practices.

I've built automated Excel VBA tools and dashboards for OEE, MTTR, MTBF, and availability, improving reporting speed and accuracy by over 80%. I also use Python, including Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib, to support production scaling, cost analysis, and workforce optimization.

As a point of contact for a digitization project with Iconia Technologies, I lead system testing, workflow optimization, and cross-functional training on digital data capture, reporting, and transaction validation. I conduct safety, SOP, Lean, and ISO compliance audits, implement corrective actions, and apply Kaizen principles to reduce waste and improve process flow.

My background also includes finance operations, production machine operation, quality control, and ICT user support, giving me a practical understanding of how systems, data, and people support reliable operations.
