Process Engineer / Data Analyst

Magna International

Managed department KPIs, breaking down monthly variances and investigated opportunities. Led cross functional projects to drive KPI improvements and ensure business success. Made data driven decisions to ultimately reduce net costs. Led process optimizations projects, improving process yields, uptime, and material optimizations. Created tools for the team to better manage BOMs, new product launches and maintain process stability.


Spearheaded Power Bi adoption by creating new & simplified reports, automatic alerts for out of control data and automated weekly process summaries. Minitab statistical analysis for understanding out of control processes and facilitating root cause investigations. Created complex DOE for new material/equipment trials and ANOVA analysis for material optimizations trials.

Project Engineer

Mondelez International / Kraft

Developed and secured CAPEX funding for a new recycle process to reduce waste in the production
process. Designed a new automated data collection system to track production CTQ parameters and
provide SPC while ensuring information security and ease of use. Worked with multidisciplinary
teams to ensure everyone’s needs were met and frequently followed up to ensure project satisfaction
from all key stakeholders and end users.

Engineering Specialist

Toyota Motor Manufacturing

Conducted full production trials, validation and analysis for new materials to reduce cost of
manufacturing while maintaining quality KPI for customers. Preformed in depth data and statistical
analysis to find the root cause of a production defect outbreak and tracked process changes ensuring
that the outbreak was resolved in an efficient and documented manner. Created a design of
experiments on key process variables to understand factor effects and interactions on the process and
to find optimal setpoints for operation of new equipment.
