16 years optimizing heavy industrial processes across steel, aerospace, and automotive sectors. I turn bottlenecks into benchmarks and downtime into uptime.
Complete process re-engineering of a 1970s blast furnace line. Integrated modern PLC controls, redesigned tapping schedules, and introduced real-time thermal monitoring.
Led a cross-functional kaizen team targeting a 120 JPH stamping assembly line. Redesigned fixture tooling, rebalanced operator work elements, and eliminated 7 non-value-add steps.
Designed and launched a new CFRP layup and autoclave cell for structural aircraft components. Established process controls meeting AS9100D quality requirements from day one.
Deployed vibration-based and thermal PdM across 14 critical assets on a foundry floor. Built custom dashboards integrating sensor data with CMMS work orders.
DMAIC project targeting weld defect rate on a high-volume exhaust manifold line. Root cause traced to fixture wear pattern; redesigned tooling improved Cpk from 0.9 to 1.8.
Core team member for a 450,000 sq ft greenfield heavy equipment manufacturing facility. Led process flow design, equipment layout, and initial production validation through PPAP.
Lead process engineering for three integrated steel mills. Accountable for $12M annual improvement targets across safety, quality, delivery, and cost metrics. Mentor a team of 8 engineers.
Supported body shop and general assembly operations for F-Series truck platform. Core team for the 2018 aluminum body launch, responsible for stamping and joining process stability.
Developed and maintained manufacturing processes for structural aircraft assemblies. Authored first-article inspection plans and process capability studies for FAA certification packages.
