What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a Ph.D. in Chemistry and over a decade of experience in materials science, formulation, and industrial innovation. As a consultant and company manager at Chematex Solutions, I help companies strengthen their R&D, optimize processes, and bring new technologies to market. My core expertise includes chemical and physico-chemical analysis, formulation, encapsulation, and scaling up lab results to industrial production.
Previously, I led the R&D department at Kermel SAS as Products and Process Development Manager, focusing on polymer systems, additives, pigments, and pilot line management. I also worked as a Research Engineer at Chanel Parfums-Beauté, improving active ingredient delivery and synthesis pathways through encapsulation technologies.
In parallel with my scientific work, I contribute to AI development projects as a remote freelancer. I collaborate with companies in the tech and AI sectors on tasks such as data quality analysis, French language QA, prompt evaluation, linguistic validation, and model alignment. My strong analytical mindset and bilingual (FR/EN) communication skills allow me to ensure accuracy and relevance in AI outputs, especially in language-sensitive tasks.
I am actively seeking new freelance, remote opportunities—either in the field of chemistry or in AI/NLP projects involving the French language, data evaluation, or quality assurance.
