What I'm looking for

I am seeking a QC/analytical role in a GMP-regulated environment where I can apply HPLC/GC skills, contribute to method validation, and grow in quality systems and regulatory responsibilities.

I am a QC Analyst with over a year of hands-on experience in cGMP/cGLP-regulated pharmaceutical laboratories, skilled in HPLC, GC, UV-Vis, FTIR, Karl Fischer, dissolution and pH analysis. I blend strong technical competence with rigorous documentation and regulatory compliance awareness.

In my roles I performed routine and non-routine testing across raw materials, in-process, finished products and stability samples, contributed to method validation and supported OOS/OOT investigations, CAPA and deviations, improving analytical accuracy and operational efficiency.

I hold an MSc in Pharmaceutical Business and Technology and a B.Pharm, am a registered pharmacist, and bring a practical, quality-driven approach to lab operations, troubleshooting, and audit readiness that supports reliable product release and continuous improvement.
