What I'm looking for

I am seeking intermediate quality supervision roles where I can lead quality programs, perform analytical testing, manage supplier quality, and improve processes within regulated environments.

I am an intermediate-level quality professional and chemical engineer who ensures regulatory compliance and drives continuous improvement across manufacturing and laboratory environments. I have led MRB meetings, managed supplier quality interactions, and authored quality system documentation while operating metrology and analytical instrumentation including CMM, Zygo, HPLC/UPLC, and ICP-OES.

I deliver clear technical reports and investigative documentation — FAIs, OOS investigations, CAPAs, and SOP updates — and I have hands-on experience with environmental testing, equipment calibration, and quality programs such as Veeva Vault, LIMS, Empower, and Excel. I seek roles where I can apply my lab testing and quality systems expertise to improve product reliability and supplier performance.
