Objective

A leadership role in quality systems management section where my education

and experience can be used to provide technical direction to a growing

company.

PROFILE

- A Bachelors degree in Metallurgical Engineering and Masters in

Materials Science and Engineering with four years of experience with

quality systems management and heat treatment process development for

forging and casting industries.

- Liaised with customers to determine specifications and provide

technical support.

- Proven track record in quality systems management with the ability to

effectively plan, direct and control the functions of the quality

department, as well as to lead, mentor, and motivate fellow employees.

Major Achievements

- Designed alternative single step heat treatment process to replace the

two step process in use and reduced the cost by 30%

- Achieved internal quality rating from 97% to 99.1% by reducing

internal rework.

- Identified a ~0.6nm thick largely disordered Ni- rich film at the

grain boundaries in sintered

Nickel-doped tungsten.
