I'm a mechatronics engineer who manages projects and portfolios with data, turning technical work into results the business can measure. My MBA in Digital Economy sharpened the analytical and strategic side.
10+ years in industrial manufacturing: from designing precision tooling for automotive lines, to testing and validating products in the lab and on site, to coordinating cross-functional projects and global portfolios. Experienced with customers, suppliers and cross-functional teams worldwide.
Thermal and energy simulation (Ansys Fluent, THERM, DesignBuilder), testing under ASTM/UL, field trials, commissioning, troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
PMO governance, milestone and deviation tracking, corrective actions, risk escalation and executive reporting across global portfolios.
KPI design, dashboards with Power BI, Excel, SQL, SAP and Oracle Analytics, business-case modelling and data-driven decisions.
Translating customer requirements into market-ready solutions, business cases and pricing, from first pitch to handover.
Started as an Order Picker, processing orders and maintaining inventory accuracy. Responsible for the returns area in a logistics operation: inspecting returned materials, identifying defects and discrepancies, and resolving issues with Customer Service, while pursuing a full-time role in engineering projects, project and portfolio coordination or NPD.
International expansion strategy for a chemical manufacturer, built on financial modelling, market data and stakeholder interviews, integrating technical, environmental and commercial factors.
Coordinated a global portfolio of product and process projects, sustaining KPIs above 85% through milestone monitoring, deviation tracking and corrective actions. Link between regional teams and the global PMO. Built dashboards in Power BI, Excel and Oracle Analytics to report progress and KPIs to leadership. Steered the regional new-product sales portfolio by tracking adoption, revenue, cost and margin lift to improve business-case accuracy.
Coordinated cross-functional NPD projects (R&D, operations, supply chain) in MS Project. Ran field trials with thermographic cameras and data acquisition systems, and thermal and energy simulations (Ansys Fluent, THERM, DesignBuilder) behind energy-efficiency analyses that captured US$4M+. Cut technical service lead time by 50% with a digital job-request platform. Supervised and coached two junior engineers. Translated voice-of-customer insights into business cases and go-to-market roadmaps, and ran competitive benchmarking to support pricing and product positioning. Represented Owens Corning as a technical speaker at industry forums and trade shows.
Inspected installations and troubleshot application issues at construction sites and customer facilities. Prepared test evidence for product certifications and technical reports for residential, industrial and OEM customers. Coordinated R&D projects with university partners under Stage-Gate and Agile.
Designed precision tooling and fixtures in CATIA for automotive production lines to VW standards; inspected tooling against technical drawings and ran functional tests on the plant floor.
Developed a low-cost digital repositioning strategy for V-Label to accelerate mainstream and B2B adoption.
Added data analytics, digital tools and strategy to an engineering foundation. Applied in projects using SQL, Tableau and AI tools.
Turned product science and simulation into customer value, new applications and commercial growth.
Hands-on work at construction sites and customer facilities, connecting testing, validation and technical problem-solving.
