9 Years Experience
During my professional journey, I have worked in various positions in the manufacturing
sector. My duties entailed optimizing procedures, improving productivity, ensuring
safety, and playing a vital part in the growth and diversification of a thriving
chemical surface coating product line. Owing to my eagerness to learn and adaptability,
I have successfully shifted my career path to the technology industry. As a Software
Engineer, I have designed technical projects and gained proficiency in diverse
programming languages, thanks to Bootcamps and mentorship from experienced Full-Stack
Developers.
Software Engineer
Full Stack N-Site: September, 2021 - Present
Throughout my time in this position, I managed an Agile development team, ensuring
on-time delivery of high-quality software. In designing web applications, I utilized
a wide range of technologies, including HTML, CSS, Javascript/jQuery, Bootstrap,
Node.js, MongoDB, React, Next.JS, Python and Django. Employment of Docker, Django Rest
Framework, and CICD automation were employed for efficient app containerization,
enhanced functionality, reduction of errors and enhanced speed of deployment processes.
The web applications were deployed on AWS for improved availability and reliability.
This experience afforded me the opportunity to lead a major project from its
conceptualization to the minimum viable product (MVP), fostering cross-functional
collaboration throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Continuous Improvement Engineer and Six Sigma Leader
Steward Advanced Materials: September 2020 - September 2021
My previous position involved the collection, monitoring, and analysis of production
data and trends. My focus was identifying areas where process variation and waste
could be reduced, while also improving safety, quality, and repeatability. Through
the implementation and maintenance of Lean Manufacturing processes, I was able to
enhance line efficiency, optimize processes, improve product quality, labor
utilization, layout optimization, profitability, and operating costs for new and
existing products. I managed all continuous improvement projects and assisted in
identifying new or improved processes or methods. Utilizing production capacity
data, quality statistics, and safety recommendations, I was able to justify costs
and ensure that all projects were executed to a high standard.
Plant Manager
Steward Advanced Materials: July 2019 - September 2020
My role involved implementing various policies and procedures to enhance production
methods, equipment, operation procedures, and working conditions. To ensure the
safety of team members, I collaborated with an Environmental Health and Safety
consultant to provide top-notch safety training. Alongside the Buyer and planning
department, I maintained optimal levels of raw materials and production supplies. By
analyzing data on sales orders, materials and supplies inventory levels, equipment
PMs, and R&D equipment needs, I generated highly effective Finished Goods Transfer
and Production Schedules. I oversaw the training of production operators on proper
production techniques, safety, and equipment operation, resulting in enhanced
operator safety, productivity, and quality assurance. Additionally, I created highly
effective training presentations for personnel on our product lines, operations, and
inventory management.
Process and Development Engineering Technician
Steward Advanced Materials: May 2014 - November 2014
I played a key role in the development and scaling up of a highly successful chemical
surface coating product line, collaborating with R&D, Process, and Project Engineers
to ensure its success. With the guidance of the Sr. Process and Development
Engineer, I completed several DOE projects for customers who were looking to scale
up their development lines, achieving outstanding results. Furthermore, I conducted
extensive studies on wastewater treatment for the plant wastewater facility,
ensuring the highest standards of environmental safety and compliance were met.
