Summary

Howdy! I'm an industrial engineer passionate about process improvement across different industries & environments. My experience across the semiconductor and defense industries has allowed me to see how to best drive for improvement in dynamic environments. I've helped drive significant cost reductions as well as evaluate new capital expenditures. I've developed an in-depth understanding of capacity from both a tactical and strategic perspective. I've also had the opportunity to manage a variety of different projects pushing them to completion in a complex matrix environment.

I also love being involved in my community and helping others. At school, I helped mentor incoming transfer students and was the chair of diversity, equity, and inclusion in my engineering organization. At work, I've led the intern engagement program for my site; helping organize events and experiences so that interns have a fun and informative summer.

Finally, I've developed a lot of technical skills throughout my different experiences. My greatest strengths are Python and VBA, but I'm also proficient in SQL and web development. I've primarily used these for in-depth data analytics, but I also led an initiative to move our site's web framework from Perl to dockerized React/Django.

Experience

2 years 11 months

Capacity Industrial Engineer

July 2023 - Present (1 year 10 months)
Dallas, Texas, United States
DMOS5 is a 200mm wafer fab in Dallas, TX focusing on automotive, industrial,
and DLP products. As part of a team of 12 industrial engineers, I supported the entire fab through capacity modeling, report development, automation, and
process improvements.

Responsibilities:

• Managed an intern, supporting a quick ramp through training and
  development as well as providing support to drive their project to completion
• Maintained capacity model for the entire factory, adding model changes,
  developing reporting, and analyzing the result
• Worked with fab leadership to identify and remediate fab constraints
  compared against future loadings

Accomplishments:

• Worked with team to build headcount plan & supporting reports for new
  Pitcrew module within the fab saving $470K/yr in labor costs
• Created groundwork idle strategy and communicated with leadership to idle
  tools based on paths available and costs allowing the fab to hit tighter budget
  constraints
• Developed new cost reporting system allowing more detailed comparison to
  best-in-class across the industry
• Enabled NCGs to ramp quicker by developing and executing a training plan
  and supplemental resources

Thinfilms Module Industrial Engineer

June 2022 - June 2023 (1 year 1 month)
Dallas, Texas, United States

Responsibilities:

• Created fab-wide reports to ensure stated capacity gains were received from
  new capital projects
• Maintained the capacity model for the thinfilms, identifying and resolving gaps
  between the model and reality
• Made changes to automated dispatch system to better assign material to tools
  based on a variety of factors

Accomplishments:

• Led initiative within module to evaluate new capital based on capacity impact
  during production ramps

• Created dashboard to ensure CVD tools perform optimally by determining
  when to perform required maintenance

• Started new strategy to track material to ensure dispatcher & manufacturing
  were aligned on tool qualifications

• Worked with team to develop new web framework and align across the fab to
  reduce NVA

Collins Aerospace

Industrial Engineering Intern

June 2021 - August 2021 (3 months)
Richardson, Texas, United States

The Mission Systems site in Richardson, TX focuses on low volume military
electronic assembly as well as high volume wire kitting and other specialty
products. As part of a team of three industrial engineers, I supported 200
operators through process improvement events.

Responsibilities

• Coordinated data dive to discover & present key industrial engineering
  metrics
• Performed RCCA to resolve a quality issue with etched wire vital to Wire
  Center production
• Interfaced with site management and external vendors to perform tests and
  update specifications

Accomplishments

• Facilitated value stream mapping event event to improve OTD and
  productivity in Wire Center
• Automated workflow to reduce production control’s backlog process from 4
  hours to 1 hour
• Led 5S project in test lab to eliminate safety concerns

Texas A&M University

Transfer Student Peer Mentor

January 2021 - May 2021 (5 months)
College Station-Bryan Area

The Transfer Student Program employs about 12 upperclassmen a year to
help new transfer students adjust and succeed at A&M. I became involved
because I felt like many engineers could use some help developing a
professional skillset. I am extremely proud of being able to help my fellow
Aggies become their most professional selves.

Responsibilities:

• Mentored 40 incoming transfer student engineers across 5 different
  departments.

• Created Covid safe social activities to make new students feel more
  welcome.

• Hosted professional development events available to all 500 mentees on a
  variety of topics.

• Represented transfer student needs in conversations with TSP and A&M
  faculty.

Accomplishments:

• Developed a 6-course professional development program to move students
  from discovering their niche to evaluating offers.
• Assisted students in navigating the complex A&M advising system and
  getting their degree plans approved.

Collins Aerospace

ACE Coop (Operational Excellence)

May 2020 - December 2020 (8 months)
Rockford, Illinois, United States

The Rockford facility of Collins Aerospace Power & Controls specializes in
assembly of ram air turbines (RATs) and electric power generators. I focused
on process improvements across the shop floor and building a continuous
improvement culture. However, I was able to gain experience in a wide variety
of industrial engineering disciplines as well as data-driven decision making,
further expanding my knowledge base.

Responsibilities:

• Applied lean tools to reduce variation across multiple cells in "Close-the-Gap"
  events
• Developed tool in VBA to visualize WIP-to-SWIP difference across the shop
  floor
• Worked with managers and supervisors across the plant to assist in cultivating
  a continuous improvement mindset
• Developed an application to push QCPC turnback requirements to
  supervisors, and ensure 100% accountability for QCPC data on operations
  above a certain variation.
• Used ERP & time study data to identify opportunities and performed RCA
