What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration in engineering projects.

I am an Industrial and Manufacturing Engineer with over 4 years of experience in pharmaceutical engineering, validation, and supply chain analysis. My expertise lies in equipment design, installation, and commissioning, where I have successfully improved efficiency, achieving a 15% reduction in process cycle time within just six months. I thrive in dynamic environments, managing complex projects from conception to completion while optimizing resources and minimizing costs.

In my current role as Projects Lead at Phed Pharma Solutions, I develop user requirement specifications, coordinate technical and financial aspects of projects, and manage client relationships to ensure quality execution. My previous experience as a Supply Chain Analyst has honed my skills in analyzing and documenting business processes, re-engineering them for efficiency, and resolving conflicts within the supply chain. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive innovation and enhance operational performance.
