Making myself welcome to production hell and having fun at improving flow while eroding & eliminating waste from processes.

Always believe growth as a professional continues with getting better at acquiring key skills in Technical, Financial, People, Sustainability and last but equally important to have skills to deal with uncertainty. I am fortunate to be not only postulating theories on what works but to test out on everyday basis in managing Operations.
