WORK EXPERIENCE

Lean Six Sigma Quality Black Belt Engineer

Niagara Falls Water Board - Niagara Falls, NY - September 2012 to Present

• Implemented DMAIC, DFSS and other Six Sigma Quality tools to improve the overall water treatment process

and management services. Optimized the usage of chemicals and improved the efficiency of the process by

54%.

• Utilized Value Stream Mapping, 5S and other Lean tools to eliminate the non-value added activities which

reduced the total lead time. Redesigned the entire process flow which is expected to yield an annual profit

of $2.1 million.

Research Assistant (Design Techniques Lab)

University of Maryland (UMD) - College Park, MD - June 2012 to August 2012

Researched on cognitive activities involved in making design patterns and documentation. Developed an

effective strategic plan by integrating all the Quality tools, which will help in the design and test of any service/

manufacturing process.
