I build FDA regulatory strategies and quality documentation for medical devices, clinical studies, and pharmaceuticals.
What I'm looking for
I've developed FDA regulatory strategies for GE HealthCare and MedikEquip, evaluating AI/ML Software as a Medical Device, drafting Q-Sub questions, and building classification documentation for a motorized patient transfer device.
At MedikEquip, I classified PowerSlider as a 510(k)-exempt Class II medical device and prepared classification rationale, predicate research, registration materials, and design-control documentation aligned with 21 CFR 820, ISO 13485, and IEC 60601.
I've also supported clinical regulatory writing at Aroga Biosciences, amending a first-in-human oncology protocol, summarizing patient safety narratives, and compiling clinical regulatory documents. My pharmaceutical quality experience at Sun Pharmaceutical Industries includes analytical testing, GMP documentation, deviation and OOS investigations, CAPA support, and quality-record review.
I'm completing an MS in Biomedical Regulatory Affairs and continue building practical knowledge across FDA submissions, SaMD, clinical research, medical writing, and quality systems to help bring safe biomedical solutions forward.
