Currently, I’m part of the mechanical repair and maintenance team at ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel, where I handle planned shutdowns, manage unplanned breakdowns, and coordinate cross-functional teams for timely maintenance execution. I’m also experienced in using SAP for maintenance planning, material tracking, and job scheduling. With a strong foundation in mechanical systems, hands-on problem-solving, and a continuous improvement mindset, I aim to contribute to operational efficiency and equipment reliability in industrial environments.
