What I'm looking for

I am seeking a permanent position that allows me to leverage my problem-solving and process optimization skills within a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.

I am an experienced Quality and Continuous Improvement Engineer with over 4 years in engineering, quality management, and process optimization. My diverse experience across various sectors, combined with a solid foundation in Chemical and Industrial Engineering, enables me to tackle challenges from multiple perspectives and deliver innovative solutions. Most recently, I have been working at BMW as a Process Supporter, where I train associates, improve processes, troubleshoot issues, and ensure quality compliance.

Throughout my career, I have successfully overseen process control, production planning, and continuous improvement in high-pressure environments. I spearheaded a project at Cemza's packing plant that achieved a 33% reduction in defective bags, leading to significant cost savings. My analytical skills have allowed me to develop dashboards for tracking product spending and optimizing supply chain processes, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and driving performance improvements.
