What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute technical, analytical, and creative skills in a growth-oriented organization within the science, quality, or manufacturing sector—using formulation and analytical testing to improve products and solve root-cause issues.

I’m a Chemist with hands-on experience in product formulation, technical documentation, and raw material evaluation in the paint industry. At KANSAI PAINT ASIA PACIFIC, I performed R&D for decorative paint products, optimized formulations for quality and cost-efficiency, and evaluated new raw materials through comparative compatibility and performance studies.

I also supported plant-scale trials with technical formulation guidance, recommended rework or reformulation to maintain product integrity, and investigated client complaints by running lab simulations to identify root causes. Alongside using SAP to manage formulation entries and specifications, I prepare Technical Data Sheets (TDS), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and formulation records while collaborating closely with QA, production, sales, and marketing to align product development with operational and compliance needs.
