• Developed Power Bi dashboards to transform AGS business operations, improving efficiency and decision-making. • Collaborated with customers to understand their needs and create customized solutions for operational improvement.

• Led operations improvement initiatives to achieve site automation metric and labor productivity goals at Micron Technology. • Served as the Subject Matter Expert for Photolithography area scheduling, optimizing the scheduler for efficiency.

• Developed scheduling logic for automation to increase moves, reduce cycle time, and enhance manufacturing efficiency. • Collaborated with cross-functional teams to implement process improvements in various fab areas. • Analyzed data to identify bottlenecks and optimize workflows for maximum efficiency.

- Worked with IE team which is responsible for tracking overall production metrics of semiconductor fabrication, ensuring that the productivity goals are met on daily basis, through constant monitoring of critical lots, lot holds and down tools ,tracking KPIs such as runnable WIP,productivity and cycle time. -Collaborated on designing a metrics dashboard that displays fab metrics in real time. - Conducted research on lot owner holds, results of which were implemented throughout the fab. - Conducted Raw Process Time Audits to ensure that they are up to date with changing recipes and routes. Trained in Applied’s Advanced Productivity Family (APF) technology- APF RTD and Reporter. - APF RTD and Reporter are real‐time, high‐performance dispatching and reporting solutions that help manufacturers identify and implement process improvements. -Received training from Applied Materials to implement software usage in IBM's semiconductor fab. -Wrote logic in APF RTD to optimize the use of tools and chambers and create the most efficient dispatch list. -Created new reports to monitor WIP levels, impact of down tools, average wafers on hold/time on-hold.

As a part of academic project: -Analyzed current and historical inventory for utilities in the Transmission and Distribution department at Duke Energy and created a regression based prediction model that takes into account a variety of factors that drive the inventory. -Conducted ABC Analysis of Inventory to prioritize strategic items for sourcing.

-Built a database application in MS Access to reduce paperwork and introduce user friendly interface while changing tools or set point values in the fragrance assembly lines, consisting of 1000s of unique SKUs. -Significantly reduced changeover time by introducing a feature that compares tools of running and new products.

As a part of academic project: -Conducted Component Inventory Optimization using Six Sigma DMAIC Process. -Optimized reconciliation of materials flow process. -Identified and reduced discrepancies in accuracy of materials being returned against a job, facilitating jobs to be reconciled smoothly. -Reduced NVA work for the returns team by 20%

-Learnt about procurement of equipment used in oil and gas industry. -Conducted complete technical analysis of Indirect Bath Heater (IDBH) package along with technical bid evaluation and vendor/supplier analysis. -Integrated technical knowledge with the understanding of key parameters that drive the cost, and developed a correlation model between the key parameters and the price of the package, leading to reduced costs in the subsequent projects.
