What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own patent intelligence and reaction informatics quality—turning complex chemical disclosures into structured, machine-readable data for AI and competitive research, while supporting rigorous QC and clear scientific reporting.

I’m a Chemistry professional with 16+ years of experience in pharmaceutical patent intelligence and reaction informatics, specializing in reaction data curation, synthesis pathway analysis, and chemical structure interpretation across global jurisdictions.

In recent roles, I’ve curated and engineered high-fidelity datasets from US, EP, WO, CN, JP, KR, and FR patent literature, extracting and validating 1,000+ complex Markush structures and 10,000+ small molecules/biologics with >99% accuracy. I also classify reaction mechanisms and ensure enterprise-scale QC with SOP-driven verification workflows.

I’m equally comfortable with patent searching and scientific communication—building Boolean search strategies for patentability, novelty, and prior-art, with exposure to Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) analyses. I also support teams through quality control, analyst mentoring, and structured scientific reporting, and I continuously expand into cheminformatics with RDKit, SMILES/SMARTS, Python, and chemical data processing workflows.
