About

A Tool & Die professional with 16+ years of experience in the development and manufacturing of plastic molds and press tools. Skilled in end-to-end tooling processes, including tool design coordination, vendor management, tool procurement, and cost estimation for both tools and components. With a strong foundation from NTTF, I bring a practical, hands-on approach to solving manufacturing challenges, ensuring quality, cost efficiency, and timely delivery. Experienced in working closely with cross-functional teams to optimize tooling performance and production outcomes. Known for adaptability, calm decision-making, and a solution-oriented mindset in dynamic environments. Beyond work, I have a deep passion for nature photography—capturing moments of stillness and motion, which helps me stay grounded and focused. Open to opportunities in tooling, manufacturing, and product development domains.
