As the Manager of the On-Board Diagnostics and Evaluation Group at Toyota Technical Center, I have developed strong relationships with manufacturing and vehicle management teams while developing world class vehicles that meet California's strict OBD compliance regulations. Making team building a top priority, I lead technicians and engineers in the vehicle development process for many top Toyota vehicle projects such as the Avalon, Sienna and Venza. With my desire to continuously improve the work done by our team, we designed, patented and built a device that revolutionized vehicle drivability, target setting and development, allowing Toyota to create vehicles far more efficiently and effectively while providing real-world test opportunities previously thought impossible. In all of my endeavors, I focus on the organizational goals then create and lead a strong team to achieve them.
