Supply Chain Manager at Wippi

About

I'm an Supply Chain Manager who thrives at the intersection of productization, system design, and cross-functional execution. With 3.5+ years of experience across product lifecycle operations, I’ve scaled from CAD drafting to owning full-stack operational systems—spanning SOP and QAP frameworks, RCA infrastructure, refurbishment, vendor ecosystems, and NPI readiness. At upliance.ai, I’ve architected 40+ SOPs, coordinated 30+ vendor programs, and driven multiple batch production rollouts alongside tablet sourcing initiatives. My mission is to make operations smarter, more scalable, and data-driven—whether it’s through automation (Google Apps Script) using AI tools or internal team Collaboration, predictive dashboards, or multi-team orchestration. I build not just for today’s production—but for tomorrow’s scale.
