Alejandro Ruiz

Procurement engineer who runs vendor trials and negotiates service coverage. Models lifecycle costs so buys hold up when machines stop.

Value is capability sustained over time, not headline specs.

A bargain vision probe cost us three weeks waiting for parts. The downtime eclipsed the savings. I built a TCO model including calibration, spares, and training; we switched vendors. The next time a stage failed, a loaner arrived in 24 hours and production never stopped.

I underweight cosmetics and overvalue serviceability, cross-compatibility, and fleet standardization.
