What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in GMP/API manufacturing quality where I can lead audits, validation, and continuous improvement across international or multi-site teams, ensuring regulatory compliance and measurable quality gains.

I am a GMP-trained Process Engineer (M.Eng.) with over eight years' hands-on experience in API manufacturing, quality systems, and cross-functional leadership. I have led site readiness for GMP inspections and worked across multi-site operations to meet global standards.

I have developed and implemented supplier audit programs, SOPs, and KPI tracking that improved on-time delivery by 15% and cut batch review cycle time by 20%. I trained cross-site teams on deviation reporting and RCA, reducing repeat deviations by 25% and coordinated validation activities to FDA and EMA expectations.

I bring strong expertise in GMP auditing, CAPA and deviation management, validation, and regulatory compliance, and I am committed to driving continuous improvement and reliable quality outcomes in regulated API production environments.
