Production Planner at Canariis LLC (2026-03 – Present)

• Manage scheduling and status tracking for up to 30 concurrent engineer-to-order jobs, coordinating cross-functional timelines from design through shipment
• Lead design review and sales meetings, aligning engineering, sales, and production teams on project scope and timing
• Build and maintain individual Gantt charts for every active job to track milestones and flag schedule risk
• Run daily production meetings and maintain real-time status boards tracking job progress, start dates, and due dates across the shop floor
• Support new production line launches and drive continuous improvement projects within the production planning function
• Analyzed departmental bottlenecks and documented systemic inaccuracies in lead-time forecasting, laying groundwork for improved scheduling accuracy

Lean Six Sigma Intern at Canariis LLC (2025-06 – 2025-08)

• Led a full DMAIC project to reduce water loss during unit hydrotesting, achieving a ~90% reduction by engineering a water recycling process to replace single-use discharge
• Identified and eliminated an electrical safety hazard by redesigning the layout of outdoor electrical panels exposed to post-hydrotest and weather-related water accumulation
• Applied Lean Six Sigma methodology (DMAIC) end-to-end — from defining the problem and measuring baseline water usage through analyzing root cause and implementing a sustainable fix
