Dedicated and hardworking professional with a passion for developing team members and implementing lean manufacturing principles. With a background that spans from hands-on experience as a welder to managerial roles overseeing multiple departments, including manufacturing engineering, production, and distribution workshops, I bring a comprehensive understanding of operational processes and team dynamics.

My expertise lies in implementing methodologies such as 5S, Kaizen, and waste elimination techniques to streamline operations and drive continuous improvement. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to fostering a culture of efficiency and productivity, working closely with cross-functional teams to identify and eliminate waste at every level.

My ultimate goal is to empower and train team members in the relentless pursuit of waste elimination, thereby optimizing processes and maximizing output. By leveraging my experience and knowledge in lean principles, I strive to cultivate high-performing teams capable of driving sustainable growth and success in the manufacturing industry.

I am an avid outdoor enthusiast with a love for hiking, traveling, and running. Currently training for a marathon, I maintain a regular running schedule each week. I find solace in exploring new countries, immersing myself in different cultures, and gaining new perspectives. Additionally, I enjoy venturing into various mountain ranges for camping and hiking adventures, embracing the challenge of conquering new trails and experiencing the beauty of nature firsthand. These hobbies not only provide balance to my professional life but also instill in me a sense of discipline, resilience, and appreciation for life's adventures.
