I oversee food production, quality control, and scientific research writing across regulated, quality-driven environments.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I oversee daily food production at JUSTFOOD LTD., coordinating raw-material supply, hygiene compliance, quality inspections, and production reporting across multiple product categories.
I lead and mentor production teams while monitoring storage conditions and temperature levels through Operations & Maintenance Information Systems. I identify process improvements that reduce material waste and prevent production downtime.
I’ve also supported scientific research through manuscript development, grant proposal writing, data collection, analysis, and interpretation at Fescosof Data Solutions and Sobani Resource Limited. My work includes preparing publication-ready journal manuscripts and reviewing research outputs for quality.
Earlier, I delivered SEO-focused research content for Upwork clients and built hands-on production, inventory, sampling, and stock-control experience in food manufacturing. I hold a BSc in Food Science and bring practical knowledge of food safety, quality assurance, and production operations.
