Experience | Global operations + supplier engineering
Across Boston Scientific and 3M, I connect supplier qualification, process development, and manufacturing transitions. That includes PCBA industrialization with contract manufacturers and practical improvements that hold up in production.
Working approach
At Boston Scientific, I partnered with design engineers on design for manufacturing, assembly, and test (DFM/DFA/DFT), including a rigid-PCBA-to-flex-circuit conversion. I applied IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 requirements to workmanship investigations and specifications, keeping suppliers aligned with released BOMs, drawings, schematics, and revisions.
At 3M, I applied design of experiments (DOE) and statistical process control (SPC) to improve process capability, and completed 10 Gage R&R measurement studies for six new-product-introduction projects to evaluate measurement reliability.
Selected operating experience
At Boston Scientific, I led PCBA readiness across contract manufacturers from pre-production through release. My PPAP-aligned material qualification reports and risk-based control plans covered qualified SMT/reflow processes, AOI/SPI/X-ray inspection effectiveness, released documentation, and trained personnel.
At 3M, I implemented a global supplier-performance program covering more than 30 outsourced vendors. At Boston Scientific, I conducted five technical supplier audits covering processes, equipment, operator capability, and test methods to identify gaps and corrective actions.
At 3M, I led a cross-functional capacity and rate-readiness initiative that expanded disinfectant manufacturing capability by 700% in fewer than two months. In separate electronics work, I scaled three PCBA-based new-product introductions, establishing product standards and quality improvements.
At Boston Scientific, I led a PCBA root cause investigation with R&D, manufacturing, quality, and Tier 1/Tier 2 suppliers. Production data, prototype testing, and component qualification delivered more than $100K in annualized scrap savings and eliminated issue-related unplanned line downtime.
How I work
Map the process, requirements, and impact on quality, capacity, and delivery.
Use supplier capability, performance data, and risk to identify the gaps.
Work with sourcing, quality, manufacturing, planning, and suppliers on priorities.
Develop practical changes, from standard work to qualification and transition plans.
Check process readiness, documentation, training, and results before release.
Use performance reviews, corrective actions, and follow-through to sustain improvements.
Supporting digital tools
Preparing bills of materials (BOMs) for printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) risk analysis involved hours of manual work.
I developed the PCBA BOM Analyzer to automate that preparation and portions of the analysis. It prepared more than 50 BOMs in seconds, saving hours of manual work.
Built an AI-assisted Supplier Change Impact Assessment guidance tool grounded in 20 controlled SOPs, plus a separate material-qualification guidance tool.
Built a Power BI tool that analyzed PCBA category spend history to support resource and project prioritization.
Served as a Boston Scientific AI Champion. I use AI and Codex to build practical applications, with requirements, testing, and review remaining my responsibility.
Independent product work
Android and Wear OS proof connecting bounded GPX import, watch sync, an implemented checkpoint path, local GPX/FIT output, and explicit release boundaries.
Expo and React Native proof connecting a Supabase/PostgreSQL backend with validation, private-group authorization, automated score synchronization, and recoverable standings across web and mobile.
Notes that expose the reasoning behind interrupted state, recovery, trusted workflows, product boundaries, and release evidence.
Deterministic decision-support simulations make TrailScope and Poolhouse state transitions, blocked actions, recovery paths, and event histories inspectable.
Best fit
I am at my best where supplier capability and process performance need coordinated action across functions, combining technical depth with practical follow-through.
