What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage analytical chemistry and automation skills to improve lab and operational efficiency, with opportunities for reproducible workflow development, cross-team collaboration, and skills growth in data and automation.

I am an analytical chemist with practical laboratory experience and a strong focus on data-driven automation. I hold a BSc in Analytical Chemistry and have supported mineral and consumer-product testing while developing reproducible sample workflows and SOPs that improved throughput and traceability.

Since June 2025 I have worked across Data and Content teams at Manymangoes and currently serve as an Automation Technician, designing and maintaining n8n workflows, ETL pipelines, web-scraping solutions, and CRM integrations to improve operational efficiency and content production.

I combine hands-on lab skills (XRF spectrophotometry, sample prep, QA/QC) with development capabilities in Python, Django, SQL, and cloud tools to build reliable systems, document processes, and train teams to maintain reproducible workflows.
