Specialize in the design and deployment of advanced automation solutions for supply chain operations with a focus on fulfillment operations. At Target, I design and manage world-class supply chain automation projects that enhance the guest experience by increasing speed and accuracy in product processing. I lead cross-functional teams and collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers to generate innovative concepts, analyze and evaluate technologies, and ensure seamless system activation, validation, and deployment. Key responsibilities include designing engineering systems with a strong emphasis on safety, creating Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Site Acceptance Test (SAT) plans, leading innovation pilots, developing layout concepts through CAD, and managing technical RFPs. Known for driving complex, multi-million-dollar capital projects from concept through implementation, I excel in creating solutions that align with Target’s mission of delivering convenience and quality to every guest.

I am responsible for successful deployment and launch of automation supply chain technologies and processes. Key Responsibilities: Ensure Safety in design for all projects, design engineering concepts/systems, create FAT and SAT plans, lead innovation pilots to evaluate new technologies, product layout concepts through CAD software, develop technical RFPs, and collaborate with all internal and external stakeholders in a project.

Austin, Texas, Us

Led the strategic enhancement of automated material flow at Tesla's manufacturing lines both domestic and internationally to optimize operational efficiency and factory output. Managed end-to-end technical projects, overseeing the conveyance and storage of diverse components such as painted and unpainted bodies, battery packs and modules, drive units, large underbody castings, and various General Assembly (GA) commodities including seats, tires, and instrument panels. Orchestrated significant projects such as battery cell tray AGV/conveyance, GA robotic battery pack load, and drive unit ASRS and conveyance systems.

Carmel, In, Us

Designed and integrated automated material handling systems for diverse applications in order fulfillment and manufacturing environments. Focused on optimizing conveyor flow, material routing, and overall system efficiency. Proficient in industrial automation and storage solutions to streamline operations. Managed projects from conception to execution, ensuring seamless implementation. Demonstrated expertise in understanding and meeting customer operational needs across industries including distribution (small parts, garment, food/bakery, 3PL) and industrial manufacturing (automotive, construction). Notable project involvements include Lyons Magnus, Stitch Fix, SGWS, Katerra, Radial, Best Buy, and Cargill.

Assessed the existing production of small back-flow large 300 valves and initiated the implementation of lean systems and tools to eliminate non-value-added processes within the production line. Aiming for a specified future state, the objective was to identify waste, optimize the production line, and reduce defects in back-flow valves.
