What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA/QC and project operations in regulated manufacturing—driving ISO/ASME/API compliance, audits, and risk controls, and using data to reduce defects, improve throughput, and strengthen stakeholder confidence.

I’m a Quality Assurance & Project Operations leader with a proven track record of strengthening product integrity and operational performance across manufacturing and engineering environments. I focus on full-spectrum project lifecycles with disciplined quality frameworks and regulatory alignment.

In my QA/QC work, I inspect and test critical activities for fuel storage tanks, verifying compliance with ASME, API 650, and ISO standards. I monitor NDT processes (radiographic, ultrasonic, dye penetrant), review welding procedures and calibration records, and ensure accurate documentation through handover dossiers and inspection reporting.

I’ve delivered measurable results in production quality systems—overseeing slitting, flexographic printing, and lamination under ISO 9001, BRC, and GMP. By implementing in-line inspection and defect tracking, I reduced non-conformities by 35% over 12 months, and through root cause analysis/CAPA work, I achieved a 40% reduction in repeat customer issues.

Earlier, as a Quality Control & Compliance Manager, I partnered with regulatory bodies such as NAFDAC and SON, ran audits, and trained teams on quality assurance best practices. I also bring operational leadership experience from directing end-to-end project operations, improving workflows via SOP development, corrective/preventive actions, and performance dashboards for executive review.
