What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles delivering and validating LIMS and laboratory automation solutions, collaborating with stakeholders to turn requirements into robust, production-ready systems while supporting continuous improvement.

I am an experienced LIMS Specialist and IT professional with more than 15 years of expertise in laboratory informatics and software development, delivering validated LIMS solutions across pharmaceutical, healthcare, and academic settings.

I develop and maintain LabWare extensions, automate laboratory workflows, program liquid handling robots, and create reports and integrations using C#, SQL, VB.NET, Crystal Reports and related tools. I have practical experience validating software under GMP and translating paper-driven workflows into LIMS-supported processes.

I thrive on problem-solving and continuous improvement, working collaboratively with stakeholders to convert technical understanding into clear requirements and robust, production-ready laboratory informatics solutions.
