• Design and implement a financial and operational tracking framework to provide clear visibility into engineering spend, schedules, and resource utilization across internal and overseas teams. • Establish capacity transparency by aligning workload, staffing, and timelines, enabling leadership to better plan resources, manage constraints, and control cost exposure. • Oversee and monitor $2M+ in overseas engineering spend, tracking cost, throughput, and delivery performance to support informed financial and operational decisions. • Evaluate and improved engineering processes end-to-end, identifying inefficiencies, handoff issues, and variability that impacted cost, delivery, and predictability. • Create standardized processes and reporting to improve cross-functional visibility, reduce ambiguity, and support consistent execution across teams. • Work directly with leadership and engineering teams to translate process and capacity insights into actionable recommendations and prioritization decisions.

• Investigated process gaps, inefficiencies, and breakdowns across engineering, manufacturing, and support functions by working directly with department leaders and frontline teams. • Conducted cross-functional discussions to map workflows, identify root causes of rework, delays, and cost exposure, and assess opportunities for standardization and improvement. • Presented process findings, improvement opportunities, and recommendations to management, supporting informed decision-making around process changes and resource allocation. • Developed and implemented standard operating procedures, process documentation, and engineering standards to reduce variability, improve clarity, and support consistent execution. • Contributed hands-on design support as needed, ensuring process standards translated into practical, usable engineering outputs. • Helped establish clearer ownership and communication between departments, improving alignment and reducing friction across project handoffs.

• Coordinated outsourced engineering and tooling activities, supporting cost tracking, workload visibility, and delivery performance across external partners. • Monitored outsourced spend, timelines, and deliverables, helping identify cost drivers, delays, and inefficiencies impacting project outcomes. • Built and maintained basic financial and performance tracking using data and reporting tools to improve transparency for engineering and leadership teams. • Worked cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and vendors to align scope, expectations, and cost considerations. • Supported process improvements by identifying gaps in communication, handoffs, and documentation that contributed to rework or schedule risk.

• Delivered tooling designs while considering manufacturability, cost drivers, and downstream process impact. • Collaborated with manufacturing and engineering teams to identify design-related inefficiencies affecting build time, rework, and cost. • Applied analytical thinking to evaluate design changes, trade-offs, and constraints, supporting more predictable project execution. • Contributed to improving design workflows and documentation to reduce variation and improve clarity across teams.

• Designed and implemented an engineering change tracking and governance system, providing end-to-end visibility into scope, cost, priority, and workload across engineering teams. • Managed and monitored $1–2M in engineering change activity per month, supporting cost awareness, prioritization, and informed decision-making. • Maintained and analyzed engineering change KPIs related to volume, backlog, and throughput, enabling leadership to track performance and capacity constraints. • Planned, scheduled, and balanced engineering workloads to align resources, timelines, and cost exposure. • Led and mentored team members, supporting consistent execution, accountability, and continuous improvement across the change process. • Provided regular reporting and insights to leadership to support capacity planning, risk management, and operational trade-offs.

• Manage overseas workload. • Manage internal workload for onsite team members. • Maintain KPI data • Issue and release KPI reports weekly.

I participated in the engineering of plastic injection molds, bringing them from fease to final product. I assisted in the coordination of outsource design work; making sure that they were on time, and held to our in-house and customer standards. I was involved in customer meeting and the launch to floor process.

My role was to design stamping dies from beginning to end. Highly involved in all customer meetings and launch to floor transitions.

Leading a team to take designs from beginning to end. While taking projects through the design process and ensuring the best quality possible; I am to make sure that my team learns and develops new skills to keep them update with the current state of the mold industry.

Built a strong technical foundation in machining, mold design, and manufacturing operations that informs current operational systems and process improvement work.
