19+ Years Scale-Up Engineering & Process Leadership
Results-driven Process Supervisor specializing in chemical process scale-up, unit operations, cGMP/GDP compliance, and shop floor leadership. Expert in bridging R&D trial execution with enterprise SAP management, hazard permitting (PHA/MOC), and equipment readiness.
Two Decades Running Pilot Plant Operations
Dual Associate degrees in Chemistry and Computer Science (Honors), combined with 19+ years of continuous hands-on experience in scale-up operations, cGMP batch supervision, and process hazard management. The kind of background that takes a long time to build — and shows immediately on the floor.
What I Bring to the Floor
Structured capabilities refined across nearly two decades of pilot plant scale-up, regulatory compliance, and cross-functional leadership.
Scale-Up & Pilot Unit Operations
Direct scale-up execution bridging R&D trial experiments into standardized, reproducible pilot plant runs across diverse solvent and thermal operations.

- ► Solvent Distillation, Extraction & Reflux Units
- ► Rotary Evaporation & Wiped Film Evaporators
- ► Thermal Unit Operations, Extrusion & Granulation
Quality, Safety & cGMP Compliance
Proactive leadership enforcing strict cGMP/GDP compliance, hazard mitigation, thorough root-cause investigations, and audit readiness.
- ► Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) & MOC Programs
- ► SOP Authoring, Batch Record Auditing & GDP Review
- ► High-Risk Permitting (Hot Work, Hazardous Materials)
- ► Root Cause Analysis (RCA) & CAPA Follow-Through
Operational Leadership & Enterprise SAP
Direct supervision of shop floor personnel, facility readiness management, cleaning verification, and enterprise SAP execution.
- ► Direct Management & Mentorship of 3 Shift Reports
- ► Enterprise SAP Modules: PP (Production), QM, MM
- ► Resource Allocation Across 6–7 Parallel Project Streams
- ► Preventive Maintenance & Equipment Qualification
Technical & Data Integration
Leveraging dual Computer Science and Chemistry degrees to apply modern data analytics, query optimization, and OT workflows to plant metrics.
