Intro

I am a First Class MSc Biotechnology and Biomedical Science graduate with ISO 13485 cleanroom experience, strong analytical discipline and a solid grounding in regulated manufacturing.

I work across both laboratory and med-tech engineering environments, supporting instrument calibration, equipment maintenance, process optimisation and quality system compliance. My strengths lie in structured problem solving, technical documentation, device reliability and operating within GMP-aligned, data-driven workflows.

Process Optimisation & Six Sigma Problem Solving 80%
Instrumentation, Calibration & Analytical Techniques95%
Technical Computing & Automation 60%
GMP/GLP Documentation, Compliance & Quality Systems 78%

Experience

Under-graduate research

Achieved a First Class Honours dissertation on a wet lab thesis about MDA-MB-231 cancer cells.

Laboratory assistant

Assisted in experimentation, analytical instruments, reagent prep, ELISA, HPLC and purification.

Manufacturing quality technician

Performed calibration, validation and strict ISO 7 documentation.

Post-graduate research

First Class MSc thesis in phylogenetics and computational pipelines.

Skills and achievements

Quality systems and regulatory compliance
Hide

Quality systems & regulatory compliance

ISO 13485, ISO 14971 & GMP discipline

I operate with strict adherence to ISO 13485, ISO 14971 and GMP principles, ensuring every process and document meets regulatory standards without exception.

My background in cleanroom environments, root cause analysis, NCR handling and CAPA support has made compliance second nature.

Focus: Compliance, documentation, audits

Environment: ISO 13485 cleanroom

Laboratory and technical operations

Laboratory & technical operations

Instrumentation, calibration & GLP

I bring hands-on experience with analytical instruments, calibration routines, equipment maintenance and GLP-aligned workflows.

My work supports consistent device performance, accurate measurements and controlled experimentation, with a strong focus on documentation integrity and reproducibility.

Strengths: Precision, traceability

Mindset: Right-first-time execution

Process improvement and problem solving

Process improvement & data-driven problem solving

Six Sigma, RCA & lean thinking

I apply Six Sigma methods, RCA tools and structured analysis to uncover root causes, eliminate inefficiencies and stabilise processes.

My mindset is engineering-driven: define the problem, map the process, extract data and implement solutions that are measurable, lean and sustainable.

Tools: DMAIC, Pareto, 5 Whys

Outcome: Reduced variation & waste

Research, bioinformatics and computations
Hide

Research, bioinformatics & computations

End-to-end pipelines & analysis

I have built full bioinformatics pipelines spanning sequence retrieval, quality control, alignment, phylogeny and result interpretation.

My research training emphasised computational accuracy, traceability and GLP-compliant data handling, resulting in a First Class MSc thesis and reproducible workflows.

Skills: Python, R, phylogenetics

Output: Reproducible, auditable data

Software, automation and technical tools
Hide

Software, automation & technical tools

Code-enabled quality & R&D

I work with Python, R, Git, VS Code and command-line tools to automate analysis, visualise data and support QC and R&D tasks.

I integrate scripting with methodical engineering principles, using code to increase throughput, reduce manual error and support modern digital manufacturing and research environments.

Stack: Python, R, Git, CLI

Benefit: Automation & robustness

Personal projects

Algae bioreactor & bioplastic
Built a small-scale Chlorella vulgaris photobioreactor and produced early-stage bioplastic films from dried biomass.
AI house companion
Integrated Arduino sensors with a local LLM, facial recognition system and house appliances, to identify people and control household electronics like lights and acoustics
Phytase phylogenetics
End-to-end pipeline for HAP phytases: sequence retrieval, MAFFT alignment, IQ-TREE phylogeny and thermal/motif analysis.
AI gym posture coach
Used pose estimation to detect lifting faults and give real-time corrective feedback on form.
