Analytical chemist with 14 years' experience in instrumentation, quality control, and lab compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am an analytical chemistry professional with 14 years of laboratory and industry experience focused on chemical analysis, equipment alignment, and quality control. I specialize in calibrating and aligning HPLC, GC, UV-Vis, FTIR, pH meters, and other analytical instruments to ensure reliable results for production and R&D.
I have led and supervised chemical quality control processes, trained junior technicians, and partnered with process engineers to improve calibration accuracy by 12%. My roles have spanned drug discovery, academic research support, and industrial manufacturing environments where I maintained strict OSHA and EPA compliance.
I hold an M.Sc. in Analytical Chemistry and certifications in OSHA laboratory safety, instrument calibration (Agilent), and quality control in chemical manufacturing. I bring precision, strong technical documentation skills, and a collaborative approach to optimizing laboratory workflows and ensuring product consistency.
