Computer System Validation specialist focused on GAMP 5, 21 CFR Part 11, and ALCOA+ data integrity.
What I'm looking for
I’m a pharmaceutical professional with 9 years of industry experience focused exclusively on Computer System Validation (CSV), building end-to-end GAMP 5 lifecycle validation packages—from IQ/OQ/PQ through requirements traceability and final validation summary reports. I drive compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11, including ERES/e-signature controls, audit trail design and review, RBAC user access management, and ALCOA+ data integrity governance.
I’ve led and authored URS/FS/DS/RTM/VMP/VP and risk-based protocols, including cloud/SaaS validation (EMA 2023), and I manage deviation and CAPA workflows using structured root-cause approaches (FMEA/5-Why). With a PMP certification and prior 6 years in Analytical Research & Development, I blend regulated-lab execution with strong project leadership—validated across major analytical platforms and tools like MassLynx, Agilent OpenLab CDS, Shimadzu LabSolutions, SCIEX Analyst, plus LIMS/ELN environments.
