About Austin Smith

I’m a Process Improvement Engineer that loves to work on solving problems and increasing efficiency while growing and mentoring my peers. Over the last 5 years, I have recorded over of tangible savings on top of peer-and-process savings (peer mentoring, education, process improvement, etc.). I’ve been helping global companies complete research and development projects, customer orientated-tasks, share data-driven goals, grow from mistakes, as well as solve global transportation and tariff challenges. Looking forward, I am perusing a managerial type role to align my drive, goals, experiences, and education while also always open to a Data Science role to combine my overall knowledge and dreams.When I’m not on the job, I love bowling in leagues and tournaments with my friends, golfing a bit (try and stay under 100), while introducing myself to the world of disc golf - so far, so good. In the world of COVID, it\'s great exercise and an easy excuse to go outdoors! The last two years I was lucky enough to compete in the Cleveland Corporate Challenge with my cross-departmental peers.If you would like to learn more about me, how I can help your company, please reach out via email (s••••••••@gmail.com). If you have any feedback at all, I value feedback welcome and as a gift!
