What I'm looking for

I'm seeking long-term remote work where I can combine operations, process knowledge, technical support, documentation, and data skills. I'm open to full-time opportunities with international teams and flexible evening or North American time-zone overlap.

I am an Industrial and Process Engineer with more than eight years of experience in international automotive manufacturing, working on Mercedes-Benz and Daimler Truck projects.

My background includes process development, production data analysis, technical documentation, troubleshooting, SAP, advanced Excel, system validation, and cross-functional coordination. I also spent two years leading and training a production team of more than 60 employees.

A significant part of my work involved solving daily operational and technical problems, validating manufacturing data and systems, and acting as a link between production teams, engineering functions, and international technical partners, including Siemens.

I recently completed a one-year AI & Python Development program and earned the Certified Python Data Analyst credential. I am continuing to develop my skills in Python, data analysis, SQL, automation, and modern digital tools.

I also independently manage Cene i Zakon, an informational website where I work with WordPress, structured content, SEO, analytics, and website performance.

I am currently looking for a long-term remote role in operations, technical/customer support, documentation, data analysis, process improvement, or related technology-focused areas where I can combine my engineering background, analytical thinking, and problem-solving experience.
