What I'm looking for

I am seeking MES/MDB modelling roles in pharma where I can apply MES design, UAT and functional-spec skills, collaborate cross-functionally, and contribute to safer, more efficient manufacturing.

I am an MES Engineer and MBR Modeller with hands-on experience designing GMBRs and MBRs, producing functional specifications, and developing UATs for major pharmaceutical clients including Merck Group, Sanofi, and Servier while working at AFD (part of Accenture). With a background in immuno-oncology and molecular biology, I combine domain knowledge in biotech with practical MES implementation to make pharmaceutical manufacturing safer and more efficient.

Driven by curiosity and problem-solving, I collaborate closely with client teams to translate real client needs into clear functional specifications and validated digital batch records. I have research experience in epigenome and DNA repair projects and hold advanced degrees in biology and biotechnologies, which underpin my technical and scientific approach to MES projects.
