@johnfischer

I develop and validate medical device test methods, fixtures, and laboratory systems for regulated products.

At Eli Lilly and Company, I lead delivery-device development testing from prototype through definitive design verification, designing fixtures, programming tests, analyzing results, and validating test systems.

I've grown laboratory capability through equipment procurement, calibration verification, troubleshooting, access control, and organization. I coordinate testing timelines across Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, and Advanced Development while maintaining GMP documentation and reviewing validation protocols.

Across Pfizer, Boston Scientific, Specialty Coating Systems, ThyssenKrupp Presta, and Eli Lilly, I've supported cGMP testing, quality investigations, process validation, root cause analysis, product verification, and technical documentation for medical and pharmaceutical products.
