What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote or contract medical and scientific writing work where I can translate biopharma research into clear technical, peer-reviewed, and regulatory-style documentation while applying evidence synthesis, data analysis, and AI-assisted writing workflows.

At FastFormulator, I provide scientific and technical advisory for pharmaceutical formulation, monoclonal-antibody and protein characterization, and biologics development. I support manuscripts, technical summaries, invention disclosures, data interpretation, and evidence synthesis using Python and AI/ML workflows.

I've authored 11 peer-reviewed publications with 500+ citations and delivered 35+ conference presentations, including a 2025 mAbs paper and an invited review on particle-stabilized emulsions. My work translates complex experimental and analytical data into clear, structured scientific narratives for expert and mixed audiences.

As a Visiting Assistant Professor at Manhattan College, I authored SOPs and technical reports, interpreted datasets using Python and R, and mentored researchers in data analysis and scientific writing. Earlier, at Shell, I produced SOPs, Management-of-Change documentation, incident reports, and formal technical reports under Goal Zero/HSSE standards.

I'm completing regulatory and medical-writing coursework covering ICH, GxP, GCP, and regulatory medical writing, and I bring applied data-science skills in Python, SQL, machine learning, generative AI, and prompt engineering to evidence synthesis and writing workflows.
