About

I bridge two worlds: 3+ years building enterprise software at Ford Motor Company, and hands-on operations experience driving process improvements on the factory floor at Mattel Inc. At Mattel, I used Pareto analysis on AS-400 production data to identify a finished-goods recording gap, retrained material handlers on the fix, and scaled it across 3 plants - sustaining a zero-error period afterward. At Ford, I applied the same root-cause, data-first approach to software systems: I extracted and rebuilt a scheduler application that cut startup time significantly, and automated a manual archival process end-to-end via CI/CD - eliminating hours of repetitive work. I have completed my PGDM in Operations & Supply Chain Management at Welingkar Institute of Management (2026), actively seeking roles in Operations, Supply Chain, or Project Management where I can combine process rigor with a builder's instinct for fixing what's broken before anyone asks. Open to opportunities in Operations Analyst, Supply Chain, and PMO roles.

Work experience

Operations Intern at Mattel, Inc., May 2025 - Oct 2025 · 6 mos, Monterrey, NLE, - Diagnosed a finished-goods recording gap using Pareto analysis on AS-400 production data, isolating the root cause behind persistent reporting discrepancies across the plant. - Retrained material handlers on corrected recording procedures and redesigned the process to prevent recurrence, sustaining a zero-error period following implementation. - Scaled the corrected process from a single pilot line to Plants B, C, and M - standardizing production tracking across the full Monterrey operation. - Piloted a Vision Sensor camera system for real-time production recording, reducing manual data-entry errors and laying groundwork for automated reporting. - Partnered with cross-functional plant teams (production, quality, IT) to translate a shop-floor Industry 4.0 initiative into a repeatable, multi-site standard.

Software Engineer - HTHD at Ford Motor Company, Apr 2022 - Sep 2023 · 1 yr 6 mos, Chennai, - Built a rules-based combination engine to auto-generate feasible Product/Model/Family/Feature configurations for a given Program, replacing manual configuration checks with a repeatable, auditable process. - Integrated the solution with Ford's Team Center PLM system, ensuring configuration logic stayed aligned with live product data - improving accuracy and reducing rework for downstream teams.

Software Engineer at Ford Motor Company, Jul 2020 - Apr 2022 · 1 yr 10 mos, Tamil Nadu, India, - Identified and closed a performance bottleneck in a core enterprise application by researching and benchmarking an alternative data-interchange format (SDIF) against the legacy standard. - Delivered a 30% reduction in processing time and up to 60% reduction in memory usage, driving the team's adoption of the new format — a data-driven efficiency win with direct infrastructure cost impact. - Independently designed and built a replacement scheduling system (Spring Boot) after identifying failure points in the legacy scheduler, cutting application startup time and improving system reliability. - Exposed the new scheduler through a monitoring interface (JMX), giving non-technical stakeholders self-service visibility and control — reducing dependency on engineering for routine task management. - Automated a manual, error-prone deployment process by building a CI/CD pipeline (Jenkins), eliminating repetitive manual work and shortening release cycles.

Intern at Cognizant, Feb 2020 - Jun 2020 · 5 mos, India, Worked on projects pertaining to Data Analytics using software(s) Tableau, Qlik, PowerBI

Software Intern at KC COTTRELL INC., Sep 2019 - Jun 2020 · 10 mos, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Developed a whole new Timesheet and Opportunity Management System, tailored to the requirements of the organization.

Internship Trainee at Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, May 2018 - Jun 2018 · 2 mos, Tinsukia Area, India
