About
I am a Tooling Program Manager with over 16 years of experience in plastic injection mold design, DFM optimization, and product launch execution. I’ve worked closely with global companies like Peloton, Jabil, and Apple suppliers, managing tooling projects from concept to mass production across Taiwan, China, and India.
My core strengths include:
- Tooling development and vendor management
- Moldflow and DFM feedback for yield improvement
- NPI project coordination from EVT to MP
- Cross-functional communication
- Post-molding automation and workflow planning
- ECO management and cost optimization
Whether you need support on new mold development, design validation, or remote supplier tracking, I provide reliable, bilingual service (English & Mandarin) and on-the-ground experience in Asia’s manufacturing hubs.
Let’s work together to make your product and tooling workflow faster, smarter, and more cost-efficient.
