Thiago Marangoni Alpendre

I am an Engineer with a strong multidisciplinary background, combining over a decade of hands-on experience in industrial operations with a growing specialization in technology, data, and artificial intelligence.

My professional journey began in the automotive industry, where I worked on the development of industrial devices and process support, gaining a solid foundation in manufacturing systems, quality standards, and continuous improvement. I later moved into a leadership role within a small-to-medium food manufacturing company, where I managed production operations end to end. In this role, I led teams, structured production routines, controlled inventory, coordinated planning and S&OP processes, and ensured alignment between operational capacity, demand, and business goals.

Throughout my career, I have consistently worked close to data. I have experience defining, monitoring, and improving operational performance using key indicators such as KPIs and OEE, transforming raw operational data into actionable insights. I bring a strong analytical mindset and practical understanding of how data reflects real-world processes on the shop floor.

My skill set spans process optimization, production planning, inventory management, and cross-functional integration. On the technical side, I have working knowledge of Business Intelligence and data tools, including Power BI and SQL, which I use to build dashboards, analyze trends, and support decision-making. I also have a solid foundation in programming and logic, particularly with Python, and a strong interest in applying automation and AI to operational challenges.

What differentiates me is my ability to bridge the gap between operations and technology. I understand industrial processes deeply, but I also speak the language of data, systems, and emerging technologies. I am currently focused on expanding my expertise in data engineering, analytics, and artificial intelligence, with the goal of developing intelligent, scalable solutions that improve efficiency, predict outcomes, and support strategic decisions.

I am driven by problem-solving, continuous learning, and innovation. I thrive in environments where I can connect people, processes, and technology to generate measurable impact, and I am actively seeking opportunities to work in technology- and AI-driven roles where my operational background adds real competitive value.
