Professional summary

I am a Materials Engineering and Supplier Quality leader with more than 18 years of experience in semiconductor and consumer electronics industries. I specialize in materials engineering, product integrity, supplier development, sustainability, environmental compliance, and new product introduction.

I have built and led materials engineering functions, multidisciplinary teams, and cross-functional initiatives spanning design, manufacturing, quality, procurement, supply chain, and external suppliers. My work focuses on improving product reliability, manufacturing capability, supplier performance, and material-selection decisions.

I bring deep experience in global regulatory and environmental compliance, including RoHS, REACH, PFAS, OFR regulations, AEC, JEDEC, IPC, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001. I conduct BOM compliance reviews, supplier audits, material risk assessments, and qualification activities to support compliant global product launches.

I apply structured quality and problem-solving methods including DFMEA, DMAIC, Global 8D, CAPA, DOE, failure analysis, and root cause analysis. I have led investigations into complex material-related quality and reliability issues and implemented effective corrective and preventive actions.

I am experienced in supplier qualification, alternative material qualification, VAVE initiatives, process development, and manufacturing engineering. I am open to relocation and remote opportunities, and I am eligible to work in the Philippines.
