## About

```text
At Featherlite Office Systems Pvt. Ltd., I spearheaded a greenfield project that transformed vacant land into an operational manufacturing plant. I led cross-functional work across site preparation, infrastructure, process design, and commissioning, delivering the expansion on time and within budget and increasing production capacity by 50%.

As Senior Industrial Engineer, I also lead facility layout optimization and develop standardized operating procedures. I use production reports and KPIs to support continuous improvement, and carry out time and motion studies to identify non-value-added activities.

At Tata Electronics Pvt. Ltd. (Wistron occupied by Tata Electronics), I managed an 18-member team and spearheaded new product introduction initiatives. I implemented seven Kaizen projects and one Poke-Yoke project, and participated in cross-functional efforts to resolve root causes.

Earlier, at Nash Industries, I supported Kanban, VSM, and VSD initiatives and supervised IoT implementation for tool monitoring systems. At Addlife Coating Systems Pvt. Ltd., I led a team of eight and worked on production, quality inspections, and shop-floor safety.
