Accomplishments

  • I led the development and implementation of a web-based solution with an SQL backend, replacing seven disparate paper-based and non-integrated systems. This tool has successfully onboarded six production facilities, streamlining resource sharing, job transfers, and problem-solving across locations. Key features included built-in error prevention mechanisms (poke-yokes) and applets that enhanced quality and efficiency. I oversaw the entire project lifecycle, including ideation, development, deployment, ongoing support, and long-term maintenance, ensuring disciplined and strategic progress throughout.
  • I successfully solved a critical problem for a major client by reverse engineering their legacy printed materials. The materials contained a dot matrix encoding and integrity numbering sequence that had stumped others. By deciphering this code, I unlocked the key to securing a million-dollar deal and landing a strategic customer.
  • I build loyal, high-performance teams through trust, respect, and hands-on leadership. I believe that a team's attitude directly reflects its leadership, and that effective leadership requires time, discipline, and a commitment to treating people with respect and listening to their perspectives. As a leader, I focus on removing obstacles, ensuring that teams have the tools they need, and fostering an environment where work can be shared efficiently. I don't believe in micromanagement or rushing work; instead, I focus on creating systems that enable teams to perform autonomously. By having a clear overview of all options, I can align resources and processes to meet business needs without adding unnecessary complexity.
