Background
Mechanical Engineering graduate from the University of Toronto with hands-on experience driving efficiency and cost savings in a high-volume manufacturing environment. At FGF Brands, a leading food manufacturer, I played a key role in a continuous improvement initiative that directly reduced production waste by 1%, generating $143,000 in annual savings. My skills include analyzing operational data, developing and implementing standardized procedures (SOPs), and collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve production inefficiencies. I have experience in data analysis tools and lean principles, with a proven ability to apply technical knowledge to achieve tangible business results. I am seeking a role where I can contribute my analytical and problem-solving skills to optimize manufacturing processes.
