I strengthen pharmaceutical quality systems, GMP compliance, and audit-ready documentation.
What I'm looking for
At Biodeal Laboratories, I strengthen GMP compliance, document control, batch-release readiness, and audit preparation across QA, QC, Production, and Warehouse functions. I coordinate pharmaceutical product validation, support deviations, CAPAs, change controls, quality risks, and PQR review.
Previously at Zain Pharma and Kenya Medical Research Institute, I delivered reliable analytical and research data through quality documentation, laboratory testing, DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, ELISA, and data analysis. I bring 3+ years of pharmaceutical quality and laboratory experience, with a focus on data integrity, traceability, technical writing, and remote collaboration.
