His approach combines data\-driven root\-cause analysis, behavior\-change and training interventions, performance management, and transparent human\-in\-the\-loop tools that earn adoption\. At Amazon, Isael designed and scaled Lean Six Sigma DMAIC governance across more than 450 associates, contributing to a 32% defect reduction and 45% cycle\-time improvement that was adopted across 100\+ fulfillment facilities\. He also elevated a site from \#13 to \#1 in six weeks, reduced inventory dwell time from six days to under two days, and sustained a 20% error\-rate reduction over two years\. At Pike Engineering, Isael built PowerFlow, an AI\-assisted optimization tool that eliminated 90% of downstream rework and recovered more than 2,400 engineering hours annually\. Earlier, at QuikTrip, he raised quality scores from 84% to 96% in one month and helped rank a store \#2 among 151 stores in its division\. ## Services - Computational Modeling - Analytical Skills - Supply Chain Optimization - Mathematical Programming - Stakeholder Analysis - Performance Management - Communications Planning - Milestones - Budget Management - Document Management - Project Planning - Risk Management - QuickBase - Project Estimation - Human\-in\-the\-Loop Design - AI Safety - Decision Intelligence - Process Optimization - Strategic Analysis - Constraint Programming ## Highlights - Designed and scaled Lean Six Sigma DMAIC governance frameworks across 450\+ Amazon associates, driving a 32% defect reduction and 45% cycle\-time improvement\. - Achieved network\-wide adoption of Amazon governance frameworks across 100\+ fulfillment facilities without mandates\. - Cut Amazon's defect rate by 50% in two months through data\-driven root\-cause analysis and targeted intervention the playbook scaled network\-wide\. - Elevated an Amazon site from \#13 to \#1 in the national network in six weeks through root\-cause analysis, workflow redesign, and continuous\-improvement sprints\. - Reduced Amazon inventory dwell time from six days to under two days through data\-driven material\-flow and sortation optimization\. - Built Amazon Excel dashboards and defect\-pattern analytics that moved leadership from reactive firefighting to proactive, root\-cause process redesign\. - Supervised a peak Amazon workforce of 120–145 associates while maintaining CPT/SLA compliance through automated sortation optimization and performance\-feedback loops\. - Sustained a 20% Amazon error\-rate reduction over two years through measurement\-feedback systems that did not require continuous manual intervention\. - Built PowerFlow at Pike Engineering through an AI\-assisted, LLM\-partnered workflow, directing the optimization logic and applying GPS\-to\-State\-Plane geospatial coordinate modeling\. - Designed PowerFlow's transparent decision architecture so engineers could see, trust, and adopt the tool\. - Eliminated 90% of downstream rework and recovered 2,400\+ engineering hours annually with PowerFlow\. - Delivered an executive ROI business case for PowerFlow to senior leadership, influencing strategic investment decisions without formal authority\. - Coordinated 20\+ multidisciplinary infrastructure programs across electrical, gas, telecom, and municipal systems at Pike Engineering\. - Raised QuikTrip quality scores from 84% to 96% in one month through rapid continuous\-improvement cycles\. - Helped rank QuikTrip \#2 of 151 stores in the division through operational redesign and real\-time performance management\. ## Experience - **Design Engineer at Pike Engineering** (2025\-08\-01–2026\-01\-01) — Reframed a broken manual process as a supply\-chain optimization problem — then built the system to fix it\.
