Industrial Engineer with extensive experience in processes, quality, and metrology. I specialize in bridging the gap between our clients needs and our technicians understanding on how to deliver a high quality result. In my last role as a Quality Engineer, I managed a small team of technicians who needed initial onboarding on each project and continuous training to always deliver the best results. I was also the point of contact for high profile clients from the automotive industry who need a high level of communication and have high quality expectations. I am proud of my achievements in this sector and look for a position where I can use these skills remotely.
