## Headline

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\.
