What I'm looking for

I seek roles in medical device packaging focused on validation, regulatory compliance, cross-functional leadership, and opportunities to drive innovation and patient safety.

I am a packaging engineer focused on medical devices, driven by packaging innovation, precision engineering, and cross-functional collaboration. I have led acquisition integrations, reduced packaging defects through continuous improvement, and authored validation protocols meeting ISO 11607, ASTM, ISTA, and FDA expectations.

I apply materials science, FEA and hands-on machining experience to troubleshoot failures, optimize packaging performance under sterilization and distribution conditions, and manage physical testing with external labs. I collaborate across Quality, Regulatory, R&D and Operations to ensure scalable design transfer and regulatory-ready documentation.
