What I'm looking for
I am Matthew Tafara Mapondera, an aspiring researcher and scientist with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Biological Sciences from Midlands State University. My academic journey has been marked by a keen interest in quality control and innovative research, particularly in the dairy industry.

In my professional experience, I have worked as an Inventory Controller and Laboratory Technician at Prodairy Pvt Ltd, where I honed my skills in inventory management, quality checks, and chemical analysis. My role involved performing rigorous quality checks on raw materials and finished products, ensuring compliance with industry standards. I am adept at conducting microbiological analysis tests and implementing ISO standards, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in quality assurance and process optimization.
With a strong attention to detail and a passion for research and development, I am eager to contribute my skills to a dynamic team that values innovation and quality.
