Results
I have spearheaded key projects that demonstrate operational excellence, including developing applications that automate data extraction from Excel, reducing errors, and significantly accelerating project timelines. My leadership has enhanced process efficiencies and product quality by integrating strategic automation and rigorous testing, which also improved workplace ergonomics and safety standards. Notably, I achieved a 25% increase in operational efficiency without adding headcount and reduced failure detection times by 90% through automated testing. In the United States, I led the transition from manual processes to laser marking, significantly improving traceability and eliminating inefficiencies known as MUDA. Internationally, in Guadalajara, I was responsible for installing and training personnel on new standards for product integrity testing, ensuring alignment with best practices and maintaining product quality.
