Hello, my name is Yang Yi, and I have over a decade of rich experience in project management, particularly within international trade, procurement, and contract administration. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working across diverse industries, from minerals to real estate, honing my skills in handling complex projects, managing teams, and ensuring smooth project execution.
Most notably, during my tenure at Metso Minerals China, I played a critical role as a Project Manager, where I was responsible for coordinating international contracts, overseeing the entire lifecycle of project documentation, and negotiating both standard and non-standard contracts. My hands-on experience in leading cross-functional teams and collaborating with global suppliers and stakeholders allowed me to resolve financial and operational challenges efficiently.
In addition to my project management expertise, I have a solid foundation in procurement, supply chain management, and after-sales service. I’ve managed import/export processes, vendor relations, and logistics, ensuring seamless operations and compliance with both local and international regulations.
I’m currently pursuing an Executive MBA at Missouri State University, which is further enhancing my leadership capabilities and strategic insight. I’m also working toward a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, which I expect to complete in March 2025.
I’m enthusiastic about connecting with other project management professionals to exchange ideas on effective project methodologies, negotiation tactics, and international procurement strategies. If any of these areas resonate with your own experiences or interests, I would love to explore potential collaborations or simply engage in insightful conversation.
Nice to meet you all here, and I look forward to connecting!
Best of luck on your EMBA and PMP journeys! You're certainly in the right place to connect with fellow project professionals; I look forward to seeing you around the community. Saving Changes...

Hi all, My name is Peerapart, but most Thai people have nicknames, so feel free to call me Peak. I’m currently a PMO (Project Management Officer) at a medium-sized company in Thailand called Sycapt. I'm relatively new to both this role and the working world, as I’ve been working for just over a year. However, I’m excited by the new things I learn every day. I graduated from a different industry, but I wanted to challenge myself, which is why I’m now working in this field. My clients and projects are mostly in the banking industry, both local and international, which gives me the opportunity to work with different cultures (something I really enjoy). I’m proud of myself because, given that my team is quite small, I’ve had the chance to work on various aspects of the project since day one. Sometimes it’s tough, but I believe that if I can do this, I’ll improve at a fast pace. In the near future, I hope to lead new projects at my company. That’s why I’m currently learning the fundamentals of data management and visualization tools like SQL, R Studio, Tableau, and Power BI. To be better at working with my team and advance my career, I joined the PMI community and am preparing to take the CAPM certification. I’d also like to mention something about my dream, if you’re curious! I’ve always wanted to explore different cultures, both in life and at work. One of my goals is to work in another country, possibly in Europe, not just remotely. I imagine walking to work, passing through parks, meeting new people, and learning a new language. I’m not sure how I’ll make this happen yet, but I’m determined to find a way one day.
Welcome, Peak! Wishing you the best as you prepare for the CAPM certification; the PMI community in here to support you in any way that we can.
I also enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures, and I would love to live abroad one day too. Thank you for sharing with us! Saving Changes...

Hello! I'm Teresa Manuel Miguel Cangundo, a highly motivated and results-oriented Chemical Engineering student with a strong passion for environmental sustainability and project management.
I'm currently pursuing my B.Tech in Chemical Engineering at Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India. My academic background also includes a strong foundation in science with a focus on physics and biology.
My research experience revolves around wastewater treatment and recycling. I've been actively involved in projects focused on enhancing efficiency, optimizing pollutant removal, and maximizing water reuse. Additionally, I'm currently investigating the potential of using readily available algae to remove harmful dyes from water.
Beyond academics, I gained valuable hands-on experience as a Chemical Engineering Intern at the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChe). This internship allowed me to contribute to challenging projects, utilize my engineering skills, and prioritize safety while performing chemical processes.
My leadership qualities shine through my involvement in various student organizations. At Andhra University, I served as the Vice President of the Angolan Students Association and a student representative for the International Chemical Engineering Students. Previously, I held leadership positions as President of the National Science and Math Quiz Team and Personal Secretary to the Student Chaplain at PUNIV High School.
My commitment to environmental issues extends to volunteering and outreach programs. I've actively mentored high school students preparing for prestigious science and math competitions.
As a testament to my dedication, I've received an ICCR scholarship for my undergraduate studies and participated in the prestigious Eco-InnovateX Ideathon focused on sustainability challenges.
I possess a strong skillset that includes proficiency in chemical simulation software, programming languages (Python & C), laboratory techniques, and excellent communication and time management skills.
I'm eager to leverage my knowledge, experience, and passion for environmental solutions to contribute to a sustainable future.
Thank you for sharing with us; your studies sound so interesting! I look forward to seeing you around the online community. We're glad to have you here!
