After leaving a local tech startup to start my new career at Woodbridge, I quickly began to learn the countless opportunities for innovation in a manufacturing environment. While still focused on typical manufacturing engineering tasks, the majority of my time was devoted to migrating the plant to SharePoint and using the Power Platform to eliminate our biggest wastes through digitized forms and automation. During this stage in my career, I added digital checklists for critical machine components, created detailed performance dashboards for each machine, and added the KPI Dashboard to our SharePoint site, which was our largest ally in driving accountability.

After being asked to share my work with the Board of Directors, I was promoted to a regional position where I was responsible for driving innovative BI solutions for multiple Woodbridge facilities across the U.S. and Mexico, and now reported directly to the General Manager of the Business Unit. Here I was able to focus on standardization and best practices. I also began developing the Power Platform University, and co-founded the Power Platform Council, a group dedicated to empowering our teammates with democratized knowledge and best practices.
