What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on manufacturing or continuous-improvement role where I can lead Lean Six Sigma projects, improve OEE and reduce costs within a collaborative, data-driven team while growing technical and leadership skills.

I am a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certified industrial engineer with 3+ years of experience and an MS in Industrial and Systems Engineering (GPA 3.74). I focus on process optimization, cost reduction, yield improvement, and practical CAD design using SolidWorks and CATIA.

I have led measurable improvements across manufacturing environments: developed dashboards and time standards, drove a 30% plant efficiency improvement, improved production efficiency by 20% and OEE by 12%, cut cycle time 25%, and reduced defect rates from 18% to 7% through SPC and RCA.
