Profile

Software Engineer &
Continuous Improvement Specialist

I am a Software Engineer with an extensive background in Continuous Improvement and Lean methodologies. I transitioned my career from Aviation Manufacturing to IT following an intensive one-year Full Stack Engineer traineeship. In my current role, I am responsible for writing clean, efficient code across the full software stack, including database design, data layer, API, and UI development. I develop software in C# to improve business efficiencies, focusing on instrumentation control, automating manual processes, and enhancing data collection, analysis, and reporting. Additionally, I am keen to expand my skills into AI engineering and I am engaged in self-led study in this field.

With a strong Continuous Improvement background, I am a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Continuous Improvement Specialist. I bring extensive experience in developing and executing improvement strategies across the energy and aviation industries. Additionally, I have a solid track record in manufacturing project management, where I have led and motivated cross-functional project teams to achieve impactful results.
