What I'm looking for

I seek cross-functional roles that combine process engineering, R&D, and commercialization with clear impact, collaborative teams, and opportunities to lead projects and secure funding.

I am a chemical engineer with a strong blend of technical R&D, process engineering, and business strategy experience gained at industry and startup settings. I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science and completed certificates in project management, Scrum, and business finance.

I have led multidisciplinary project teams and authored technical documentation and roadmaps while managing budgets, schedules, and risk registers. My project work helped secure over $1.5M in feasibility funding and drove measurable cost reductions (for example reducing LunaPure stage 1 costs from $15,000 to $2,000).

Technically, I build financial and analytical models (Python, Power BI, Excel, SQL, MATLAB), produce engineering deliverables (P&IDs, CAD, SolidWorks, AutoCAD), and ensure regulatory and quality compliance across biopharma and industrial projects. I use project management and operational-improvement tools like Asana, Trello, Lean Six Sigma, and gantt charts to deliver results.

I combine analytical rigor with stakeholder-focused communication to translate engineering solutions into commercial outcomes and investor-ready materials. I am driven to join teams that value cross-functional collaboration, measurable impact, and scalable product development.
