NetherlandsWhat I'm looking for
On an independent coffee import project, I built a structured database of 70 specialty coffee roasters in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. I research buyer fit, identify contacts and organise follow-up and supplier communication for a proposed Colombian coffee import.
On an independent consumer products project, I developed concepts and ingredient briefs for nutritional gummies and drink sachets, then researched manufacturers and compared quotations, minimum order quantities and lead times. I also built pilot-batch costing scenarios to assess commercial feasibility, and created a simple console-based banking program through Python self-study.
