About

I am a Manufacturing and Process Engineer with 7+ years of experience driving precision engineering and process excellence across aerospace, die-molding, and medical device sectors. My expertise lies in CNC programming, CAM support, process optimization, and offline NC code validation, backed by hands-on shop floor involvement and customer site prove-outs across global projects. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with advanced CNC machines including 5-axis machining centers, mill-turn setups, and high-precision HMCs, while machining complex materials such as titanium alloys, aerospace-grade aluminum, and high-strength steels. Leveraging tools like NX-CAM, FeatureCAM, Topsolid, and Vericut, I deliver optimized, validated machining programs that meet stringent aerospace and medical standards. My strength goes beyond programming—I bring end-to-end process engineering expertise. Skilled in New Product Introduction (NPI), PFMEA, DfMA, Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma, I have successfully contributed to process improvements that reduce cycle time, improve manufacturability, and enhance efficiency. I also bring experience in robot programming and automation, with exposure to ABB RobotStudio, enabling smarter, more efficient manufacturing environments. Alongside this, I have played a key role in ISO internal audits, ensuring compliance with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards, while developing SOPs and best practices for safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement. Collaboration has been central to my success—working closely with design, quality, and production teams, I ensure processes consistently meet cost, delivery, and safety objectives. With an MSc in Production Engineering & Operations Management (Coventry University, UK). I bridge academic expertise with real-world manufacturing excellence. Passionate about advanced manufacturing, robotics, and continuous improvement, I aim to contribute to organizations that value innovation, digital transformation, and operational excellence. My long-term vision is to leverage cutting-edge technologies and lean practices to help companies remain competitive, sustainable, and future-ready.

Process Engineer

Jun 2022 – Present · 4 yrs · Skipton, England, United Kingdom

  • In my current role as a Process Engineer, I’m responsible for optimizing existing processes and defining manufacturing methods and routing for new products (NPI). This involves conducting in-depth PFMEA and leading DfMA meetings with the design team to ensure ease of manufacturing and assembly. I actively contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, resolving manufacturing-related NCRs, and regularly create SOPs for new processes. Collaborating closely with the Quality team, I ensure the effectiveness of implemented strategies.
  • A key aspect of my role is CNC programming, where I deliver verified NC codes through Vericut simulation software. Additionally, as a certified internal auditor, I conduct audits to ensure compliance with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards.
