Experience

1. Senior Operations Research & Data Scientist

   Intel

   Jun 2022 — Present · AZ, US

   As a Senior Operations Research & Data Scientist at Intel (Chandler, AZ), I partnered with global suppliers and internal stakeholders to deliver multimillion-dollar efficiencies across the semiconductor supply chain. My work combined supplier management, advanced analytics, and optimization models to reduce CapEx, accelerate manufacturing readiness, and strengthen long-term planning. Supplier & Capital Planning – Oversaw $1B+ supplier capital investments across global factories, ensuring 100% compliance of Asia-based suppliers through audits, corrective actions, and process validation. Built route optimization and prioritization models to reduce HVM lead times and CapEx. Optimization & Forecasting – Spearheaded development of a stochastic optimization trade-off model under demand uncertainty, saving $5M+ in tool CapEx. Led demand forecasting for multiple suppliers using ARIMA/Prophet to improve S & OP and 5-year planning cycles. Machine Learning Solutions – Deployed an ensemble cost prediction model (XGBoost) with 99% accuracy, saving 4+ engineering weeks per quarter and uncovering critical cost drivers. Designed a hybrid anomaly detection system (rule-based + clustering) for 400+ products with 200+ attributes, ensuring design data integrity, eliminating reconciliation delays, and enabling accurate 5-year capacity forecasts. Cross-Functional Leadership – Partnered with engineering, finance, and vendors to standardize components, optimize materials, and set throughput targets across product lifecycles. Consistently drove strategic decision-making by blending OR, ML, and supply chain expertise. Led cross-functional coordination and optimization for next-generation semiconductor glass substrate manufacturing, mentoring junior engineers, resolving data acquisition challenges, analyzing process bottlenecks, and delivering cost-capacity optimization insights that informed strategic decisions by senior leadership.
