I am eager to put my product lifecycle management skills to use, where I can contribute to improving cross-functional efficiency between engineering and manufacturing, improving business processes and promoting best practices. Although my main experience is with automotive engineering products, I am interested in mobile, web, cloud-based, and cleantech products as well.
While developing strong technical skills through study of automotive powertrain and control systems and information science, I built a deep communications foundation and further focused on the Japanese market and language. I have had the pleasure of working in Japan with OEM makers such as Nissan Motor Company Ltd., Toyota Motor Corporation, and Suzuki Motor Corporation on projects ranging from computer-aided engineering simulation, BOM/M-BOM lifecycle management, digital manufacturing, to control systems data management.
Siemens is committed to developing innovative solutions for megatrends such as demographic change, urbanization, climate change, and globalization. In the Digital Factory division we offer integrated hardware, software and technology-based services to support manufacturing companies in improving their processes and reducing time to market.
Personally I have held a variety of roles including business analyst, application architect, product development technical consultant, software developer, customer onsite technical support, and technical/business Japanese-English interpreter and translator.
I love making new professional relationships. If you want to discuss PLM, manufacturing, cars or even Japanese business communication please feel free to contact me.
