My major accomplishments as a project engineer include:- Developed and implemented capital improvement projects totaling $20K to over $1M.- Identified and solved problems in order to optimize the operational conditions of theproduction lines. - Led cross-functional teams in order to solve the root cause of a problem using leanmanagement tools such as fishbone diagrams, four blockers, A3, Kaizen events, etc.- Coordinated the plant’s safety model program consistent with overall company safetyobjectives.From April 2015 to June 2016, I participated in a special team assigned to the lean management deployment at the USG Baltimore plant. As the lean leader for the packing department, I was able to:- Effectively lead four Kaizen events resulting in the process improvement of the packing lineand nearly $50K cost savings per year.- Led a team in a total productive maintenance (TPM) resulting in the identification ofproblems and returning to the original status the conveying equipment of one of theproductions lines.- Participated in developing the value stream map for current and future state of the packingdepartment.- Completed the value stream improvement plan (VSIP) which reduced product leakage,improved safety, and improved housekeeping.- Developed and improved the department Gemba walks with the team.

I was the general manager in a shop that bought gold and silver. I bought more than 500 grams of gold and silver per week from clients purchasing 11,000-14,000 Euros worth per week. I effectively managed store maintenance, ensured quality customer service, and marketed the store. I was responsible for the accuracy of all transactions and I worked with the local authorities to ensure that transactions were valid. Also, I administered thorough and accurate accounting records for all store purchases and ordered store supplies as needed.

I tutored high school and pre-university students to improve their performance in their science subjects and to prepare them for university entrance exams. I explained multiple concepts and various subjects in the class to various students during the same session. I used creative lessons to keep the students focused and created daily activities.

I developed and gave presentations on electrostatics, mechanics, optics, physics and chemistry experiments for groups larger than 30 people in order for visitors to think, reflect and investigate the scientific basis of natural phenomena in the world, adapting each presentation to the age and interests of each group. I prepared the materials and solutions used in the experiments lab of the center. I also led informative sessions on astronomy covering stars, planets, visible sky and deep sky in the center´s planetarium.

I worked in the Department of Quality Assurance and Environment, where I gathered, tested and evaluated the water samples taken in the plant in order to maintain the water parameters in accordance with the Ministry of Environment. I also conducted physical-chemical analysis of the water of the plant and of the cogeneration plant. I also performed quality control and monitoring of the processes of the wastewater treatment plant.
