## About

```text
At BASIGO, I coordinate and support electric vehicle assembly-line operations across Body, Paint, Trim, and End-of-Line. I analyze production data and support Lean, Kaizen, and Six Sigma improvements to address bottlenecks and process inefficiencies.

I also troubleshoot high- and low-voltage vehicle systems, CAN communication faults, and electronically controlled systems including VCU and EPB. In personal projects, I built MaternAI, a machine learning application, and developed a predictive model for manufacturing workforce planning.
