What I'm looking for

I am seeking a mid-level QA/QC role in the edible oil or food sector where I can apply HACCP, ISO 22000 and GMPs, lead process improvements, mentor staff, and contribute to stronger product quality and food safety.

I am a results-driven industrial chemist and quality assurance specialist with over 3 years' experience in the edible oil industry, implementing and maintaining HACCP, ISO 22000 and GMP-based quality systems. I have driven process optimization and chemical analysis that reduced non-conformances by 30% and recurring defects by 25%.

I maintain and calibrate laboratory equipment to ensure 100% test accuracy, trained and mentored five junior technicians, and prepared detailed quality reports and trend analyses for management. I bring strong auditing, root-cause analysis and SOP development skills to cross-functional teams focused on food safety and continuous improvement.
