My expertise lies in establishing robust quality management systems, improving supplier performance, reducing process variation, and driving operational excellence through data-driven decision-making. I have extensive experience implementing and maintaining quality systems in accordance with AS9100, IATF 16949, APQP, and PPAP requirements. As a certified internal auditor, I regularly conduct internal and supplier audits to ensure compliance, risk mitigation, and continuous improvement across organizations and supply chains. My approach is built on analytical quality methodologies and structured problem-solving techniques, including FMEA, SPC, MSA, 8D, 5 Why, Root Cause Analysis, and reliability engineering principles. I am passionate about transforming complex quality challenges into sustainable solutions that improve product performance, manufacturing efficiency, and customer confidence. In addition to my quality leadership experience, I have developed strong technical capabilities through hands-on work and specialized training in IPC standards, ESD control, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, KNIME, Minitab, MATLAB, and ReliaSoft. This combination of technical depth and quality expertise enables me to effectively bridge engineering, manufacturing, supplier management, and business objectives. My mission is to build high-performing quality cultures, strengthen supplier ecosystems, and deliver operational excellence in highly regulated and technology-driven industries.
