I am interested in designing computational algorithms that address supply chains and operations challenges, by combining methods from Combinatorial Optimization, Stochastic Optimization, Machine Learning and Lean- Six Sigma. Currently, I am working on applying Scenario Reduction algorithms in Stochastic Optimization to solve problems in Capacitated Facility Location and Network design & routing. The results of this work will contribute to SMS++, a high-performance mathematical modeling system written in modern C++. My expertise bridges data science with practical business solutions in supply chain management, and operation excellence. See my CV for more details.

Professional Experience
- Developed an automated production scheduling engine using Python & SCIP, solving large-scale Integer Programming models (200+ SKUs) to optimize mold allocation and machine capacity across shifts.
- Built and applied MIP-based optimization models to enhance multi-constraint capacity planning, aligning production schedules with operator productivity.
- Conducted end-to-end data analysis (SQL, ERP, manual logs) and on-site field studies to identify root causes and deliver data-driven “Quick Win” improvements.
- Delivered comprehensive diagnostic reports and business case presentations for C-level executives, translating complex operational challenges into ROI-driven transformation roadmaps.
- Managed ad-hoc ETL and data pre-processing workflows to clean and standardize raw operational data, ensuring high quality inputs for predictive analytics and diagnostic reporting.
- Collected, processed, analyzed the production data to get insights and support top leaders making decisions, problem solving and improvements.
- Designed and built data systems to capture performance data for new products, developed dashboards to track the performance and perform business/ data analysis tasks when issues arise.
- Designed and built the SMT changeover process for two high-volume PCBA products, reduced setup time by 50% and increased OEE to 82%.
- Developed a project that increased the First Pass Yield of Box Build products (21 SKUs) on the Tele-radio line to 98.89%, increased 4.09 sigma level, saved $35k in 2022 for the company.
- Monitored, analyzed daily data regarding to business goals and took corrective/preventive actions to get them back on track.
- Made weekly/daily production schedules (around 200 SKUs) based on master production plans with the right time, quantity, conditions.
- Failure analysis by applying lean tools (5 whys, 5W1H, 5M1E, FMEA), mathematics techniques (6 Sigma, Reliability analysis, Pareto/SPC analysis, Cpk/Ppk, DOE) to define corrective/preventive actions regarding to quality excursions.
- Developed a productivity improvement process for a Core-Bedding product (single SKU), reducing average labor time from 0.38 to 0.23 hours per unit and saving $9,229.29 for the company.
- Managed KPIs for mixing processes, including Productivity (80%), OTD (95%), First pass yield (99% non-telecom, 95% telecom), and Cost (under budget 1% revenue/month). Achievement: increased Productivity exceed 80% for 5 consecutive months.
- Taught and guided students in Mathematical Programming course, covering LP formulation and solution methods (Simplex, Graphical), optimization problems (Capacitated Facility Location Problem, Resource Allocation Problem), and project scheduling techniques (CPM, Gantt).
