My experience at Tinol Paints International has equipped me with the skills to conduct root cause analyses and implement lean tools, resulting in significant time and cost savings. I thrive in collaborative environments, bridging communication between R&D, production, and sales departments to ensure project alignment and success.

During my tenure as a Process Engineer at Candia – Libanlait, I conducted detailed time and motion studies, identifying waste points and proposing actionable recommendations that enhanced operational efficiency by 40%. My academic background, including a Master’s in Industrial Technology from Saint-Joseph University of Beirut, complements my practical experience, allowing me to approach challenges with a strategic mindset. I am passionate about continuous improvement and committed to delivering high-quality results.
