## About

```text
At RENOLIT Cramlington Ltd., I led on-site technical support for gravure, lamination, embossing and UV lacquering lines. I improved solid-colour line contribution by over 7% through scrap reduction and process optimisation, and developed sustainable waste-reduction methods.

At QROMA, I led structural reorganisation across R&D, process development and operations, and managed production, safety, quality and regulatory-compliance KPIs. Earlier, at CPPQ, I developed and commercialised an aromatic epoxy polymer and helped achieve ISO 9001 certification; I’m now undertaking professional development in circular economy, environmental management and chemical regulatory affairs.
