Summary

Industrial engineer and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt with manufacturing and industrial-equipment experience across quality improvement, root-cause analysis, equipment acceptance, and manufacturing process validation. Reduces scrap and defects, qualifies new production equipment against defined acceptance criteria, and leads cross-functional manufacturing readiness at industrial pump manufacturing sites — backed by SAP S/4HANA, SQL, Power BI, and statistical analysis.

Selected manufacturing & quality impact

  • 15% scrap reduction

    Root-cause analysis and SPC on high-volume production lines; a parallel value-stream mapping program captured an additional $180K.

  • 10% defect reduction / $43K

    Quality initiative built on statistical analysis and process redesign; 1st place, Lozier Co. national quality competition.

  • Multi-site process validation

    Engineering-through-shipment process validation for two industrial pump plants supporting $200M+ in operations.

Experience

Flowserve — SAP Business Implementation Project Manager, Industrial Pumps

Jan 2026 – Present

  • Lead manufacturing-process readiness for an SAP S/4HANA deployment across two industrial pump plants ($200M+ in operations), coordinating Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Planning, Operations, and IT to validate end-to-end manufacturing processes before production release.
  • Develop and execute end-to-end manufacturing validation scenarios covering engineering release, BOM and routing, material planning, procurement, receiving, production, quality inspection, warehousing, shipment, and financial integration.
  • Established issue-closure governance for process validation: every critical defect requires defined ownership, corrective action, objective evidence, retest, and site sign-off before it is considered closed.
  • Own the work-instruction and process-documentation inventory for both sites; build readiness dashboards tracking defect aging, closure status, and site readiness for leadership.

Signify — Manufacturing / Industrial Engineering Manager

Nov 2024 – Jan 2026

  • Cut scrap 15% through structured root-cause analysis and SPC on high-volume manufacturing lines; a parallel value-stream mapping program captured an additional $180K.
  • Defined acceptance criteria and led vendor run-off and buy-off for new production equipment — verifying build conformance to specification, cycle time, and process capability before release to production.
  • Owned PFMEA, control plans, work instructions, and inspection criteria for the production area; drove corrective action on recurring defect modes using MES and shop-floor data.
  • Led a 9-person team and the improvement agenda; time studies, line balancing, and standard work raised gross utilization 20% ($250K+ annual) and cut changeover time 18%.

AutoOps AI — Founder & Product Engineer

Nov 2025 – Present

  • Build an AI platform for manufacturing quality workflows — FMEA, CAPA, 5-Why root-cause analysis, nonconformance tracking, and quality reporting — with SAP integration; 35 discovery interviews and a 20-user pilot at a manufacturing company.

Epic Systems — Data Aggregation Engineer

Jun 2024 – Sep 2024

  • Built SQL/ETL pipelines processing 500K+ records and improving data quality 30%, feeding real-time operational dashboards.

The Walt Disney Company — Industrial Engineering Intern

May 2023 – Aug 2023

  • Built Python predictive and optimization models that cut Disney Cruise Line port wait times 25%; redesigned transportation and material flow for an 82% cost reduction ($120K annual).

Tenneco — Continuous Improvement Intern

May 2022 – Aug 2022

  • Delivered $1.3M in savings through Lean Six Sigma analysis and simulation of Ford production-line layouts; built Power BI dashboards for real-time visibility across multiple plants.
