Project Management
I have worked at the extreme ends of the thin film industry. As part of a small company, I wore the hats of an engineer, technician, project manager, and customer point of contact. As part of a FAANG company, I found myself managing vendors and working with technical program managers on long-term product development. This range of experiences has allowed me to become an effective leader and manager of resources. My skill set includes:
Gantt Charting, critical path analysis, phase-gating, and timeline development.
In-depth cost calculation for thin film processes and plans for scalability.
Detailed record keeping of coating runs, test results, part inspections, etc.
Excellent written and oral communication (slide decks, presentations) for diverse audiences.
