About

trilingual multidisciplinary scientist Analytical chemist focused on lab operations, QA/QC systems, laboratory scalability, and workflow optimization. Experience reducing analytical turnaround time from 18 days to <5 days through KPI-driven process improvement and high-throughput laboratory operations. GMP, documentation, CAPA, audits, investigations, SOPs, and compliance. LC (HPLC, UPLC, ion). SEM ( XRD). Spectroscopy ( ICP-OES, ThermoFisher FTIR). Spectrophotometry ( ThermoScientific GENESYS Spectrophotometer). MS ( GCMS) Method development /Method validation: -used USP standards. LOQ %rsd < 10 %. ppb level. <5% ppm level. ICP ( trace elements) -AAS (heavy metals)-HPLC ( vitamins ) - GC ( volatile compounds). Sampling is challenging ( partial size challenges particularly) ---- Outside of work, I build genomic Python pipelines, read genetics literature, and investigate machine learning applications in genomics..
