Introduction
I’m an Industrial Engineer with a background in manufacturing, leadership, and data-driven problem solving. I use analytics, machine learning, and lean principles to improve processes, increase efficiency, and drive better business outcomes. I’ve led teams of up to 20 engineers, developed AI/ML solutions that significantly improved forecasting accuracy, and supported cost-saving initiatives through operational analysis and continuous improvement. I’m skilled at turning complex data into clear insights and practical actions that help cross-functional teams make informed decisions.
📘 Currently reading: "Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World", by Stanley McChrystal
