What I'm looking for

I seek roles in regulated manufacturing or R&D where I can apply GMP/ISO expertise, improve processes, lead quality initiatives, and mentor teams while contributing to product and operational excellence.

I am a chemical engineer experienced in pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing, quality assurance, and GMP/ISO 9001 compliance. I have hands-on experience in production troubleshooting, process optimization, root cause analysis, and data-driven technical reporting that improve product quality and operational efficiency.

My research on green synthesis of carbon nanodots was published in Nanoscale Advances, and I have led GMP implementation, staff training, and QC initiatives that reduced errors and improved workflow stability. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and to applying rigorous quality systems in regulated environments.
