I am a highly skilled professional with extensive experience in pharmaceutical GMP and FDA regulations, specializing in validation, qualification, and quality assurance for manufacturing and packaging processes. My daily responsibilities include: Leading the acquisition, qualification (DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ), and validation of equipment, utilities (HVAC, purified water, compressed air, nitrogen), and facilities, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Developing and executing validation master plans, calibration plans, and risk assessments to maintain compliance throughout the year. Managing deviations, conducting root cause analysis, and implementing corrective and preventive actions for utilities, facilities, and equipment. Overseeing warehouse environmental monitoring (temperature/humidity) and maintaining logbooks for critical instruments. Creating and updating standard operating procedures (SOPs) to align with GMP, FDA, and internal/external requirements. Supporting external audits and inspections to ensure the quality and compliance of the GMP system. Validating Electronic Batch Records (EBR) and maintaining up-to-date databases for equipment, utilities, and computerized systems. With a strong focus on quality, compliance, and traceability, I ensure that all processes meet regulatory requirements while optimizing efficiency and productivity. My expertise in GMP and FDA regulations has been instrumental in driving successful audits, improving processes, and maintaining the highest standards in pharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging.
I have successfully managed and supervised large-scale industrial automation and process improvement projects, ensuring compliance with safety, timeline, budget, and quality objectives. Working closely with cross-functional teams, my key achievements include: Successfully managing projects such as automated palletizing systems for packaging lines (including aggregation systems), automatic pallet loading systems, and facility renovations. Overseeing Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), and commissioning to ensure seamless integration and operational readiness. Coordinating project planning, scheduling, and budget management, ensuring on-time and on-budget delivery. Defining project specifications and monitoring timelines and costs to optimize efficiency and resource allocation. Ensuring strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards throughout all project phases. Building and maintaining strong relationships with suppliers, contractors, clients, local entities, and stakeholders to drive project success. With a proven track record in innovation, efficiency, and compliance, I consistently delivered solutions that enhanced operational performance and met the highest industry standards. My ability to lead complex projects and collaborate with cross-functional teams has been key to achieving measurable results in the pharmaceutical sector.
In my role at Bridgestone Firestone, a globally recognized multinational company, I had the opportunity to lead impactful projects in industrial engineering and continuous improvement, with a strong focus on Lean Manufacturing, process optimization, and operational excellence. Working alongside talented teams, we achieved significant milestones, including: Leading industrial projects and Lean Manufacturing initiatives, driving improvements in safety, quality, productivity, and manufacturing costs across key processes such as rubber mixing (Banbury), calendering (calandras), Steelastic, and tire assembly. Managing and supervising suppliers and contractors for industrial engineering services and facility upgrades, ensuring timely and cost-effective delivery. Analyzing production systems to identify, implement, and calculate improvements in capacity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, particularly in rubber compounding and tire manufacturing processes. Implementing and promoting Lean tools such as Gentan'I, MOS, Bekido, and Kaizen to optimize workflows and eliminate waste in critical areas like material handling and production line efficiency. Designing and enhancing production control systems, updating production standards, and refining incentive programs to boost performance in high-impact areas such as calendering and tire assembly. Calculating personnel and equipment requirements, and designing optimal layouts for equipment, materials, and workstations to streamline rubber mixing and tire production processes. Developing and implementing improvements in work methods, material handling systems, and production standards, ensuring seamless integration of Steelastic and other key technologies. Leading conflict resolution with union representatives and fostering collaboration between administration, production, and marketing teams to align on project specifications and procedures.
In the Maintenance Engineering Department at PDVSA, I ensured the integrity of critical infrastructure across Venezuela: gasoline storage tanks, service stations, pumping systems, and exploration sites. My focus: compliance with API Standard 653: 2012 and data-driven management. Key Achievements: Applied API 653 to evaluate gasoline storage tanks, determining corrosion rates, remaining lifespan, and inspection deadlines. Reduced maintenance delays by through statistical analysis of thickness measurements and remaining life calculations. Established reliable sampling standards for inspections, optimizing department resources. Coordinated with regional teams to prioritize maintenance interventions for service stations and pumping systems. Designed technical reports for the central office, aligning maintenance practices across the national network.
