Senior Process Engineer

Engineering better systems through data.

I combine process engineering, analytics, and Lean Six Sigma to turn complex, high-volume operations into measurable gains in throughput, cost, quality, and stability.

01 / Results visualized

Improvement you can see.

Each comparison uses figures from my resume. Baselines are shown only to make the documented change clear; no additional performance data has been inferred.

Before After
Asset utilization10 → 7 units

Python automation surfaced excess capacity and supported a leaner operating configuration.

PPH variability8% → 5%

Load-balancing models improved throughput stability and service reliability.

Normalized operating indexCycle time down / Productivity up

Power BI and cause-and-effect analysis turned operating data into targeted improvement priorities.

02 / Live sorting systems

Engineering principle

Reliable sortation is a system problem: stable induction, trustworthy measurement, balanced flow, correct routing, and a control plan that keeps them aligned.

03 / Selected projects

Evidence over assumptions.

Four detailed case studies reconstructed from my professional experience. The focus stays on transferable methods and documented outcomes.

Python automation01

Equipment utilization optimization

Automated system-performance analysis to identify underused capacity and support a reduction in MLOCR utilization from 10 units to 7.

Python / Pandas / Operations data

Challenge

Test whether ten MLOCR units were necessary under real operating conditions.

Approach

Built a repeatable performance-analysis workflow in Python to compare asset demand, operating patterns, and service requirements.

Outcome

Supported a reduction from 10 units to 7, lowering maintenance demand and operating cost.

Result25% reduction
Flow and capacity02

Facility flow optimization

Analyzed throughput and material-flow data to support equipment removal, outbound lane expansion, better space utilization, and capital deferral.

Power BI / Material flow / Layout

Challenge

Create outbound capacity within an established facility footprint.

Approach

Mapped plant-floor flow and combined throughput, equipment, and space data in decision-ready Power BI views.

Outcome

Enabled equipment removal, lane expansion, stronger space utilization, and deferred capital investment.

ResultCapacity unlocked
Predictive modelling03

Load-balancing and service reliability

Built data models and standardized operating practices to stabilize throughput, improve conveyor efficiency, and strengthen dispatch-lane performance.

Python / Pandas / Scenario modelling

Challenge

Reduce unstable PPH that complicated staffing, flow, and service planning.

Approach

Developed load-balancing and scenario models, then translated the findings into SOPs and operator training.

Outcome

Reduced variability from 8% to 5% while improving throughput stability and service reliability.

Result8% to 5% variability
Quality analytics04

Cycle-time and productivity improvement

Combined Power BI reporting with cause-and-effect analysis to expose constraints, focus improvement work, and sustain operational gains.

Power BI / Fishbone / Lean Six Sigma

Challenge

Identify the operational causes behind long cycle times and inconsistent productivity.

Approach

Connected visual reporting with cause-and-effect analysis to focus teams on the most consequential constraints.

Outcome

Delivered a 20% cycle-time reduction and a 15% productivity improvement.

Result20% faster / 15% more productive

04 / About

Curious by nature.
Rigorous by practice.

I am a Toronto-based Professional Engineer who enjoys making complicated systems easier to understand and better to operate.

My work sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering, operational excellence, and data science. That perspective helps me move between the plant floor and the analytical model without losing sight of the people who make the system work.

Frame the operating problem, customer need, scope, and decision criteria.

Charter / VOC / SIPOC
02

Measure

Validate the data, establish the baseline, and make variation visible.

MSA / SQL / Power BI
03

Analyze

Separate symptoms from causes using models, statistics, and process knowledge.

Python / FMEA / RCA
04

Improve

Test scenarios, balance trade-offs, and translate insight into workable change.

Simulation / DOE / Pilots
05

Control

Standardize the new method and monitor the signals that protect the gain.
