What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead process and performance improvements, implement KPI/reporting systems, and drive cross-functional projects in data-driven manufacturing environments.

I am a Mechanical Engineer with proven experience leading industrial projects in medium- and large-scale settings, focused on process improvement, production flow optimization, and implementation of reporting systems that support data-driven decision-making. I have led layout redesigns, industrialization projects, and implemented maintenance management systems (Fracttal) with KPI definition (MTTR, MTBF, availability), training, and report standardization.

I combine hands-on production support and team supervision with analytical skills in KPI development (OEE, RTF, Scrap), Lean/Six Sigma practices, Power BI and SAP BO reporting, and CAD tools like AutoCAD and SolidWorks. I deliver measurable results in waste reduction, cycle time improvement, and cross-functional coordination while mentoring teams and supporting quality and maintenance excellence.
