Work History

Process Development Scientist/Technical Consultant

Global Project Services
Redlands
08.2022 - Current
  • Scaling up processes from bench to pilot scale, with a focus on aerobic fermentation production of high-value molecules and their purifications.
  • On-site and remote data analysis of fermentations, focusing on maximizing the production of target molecules via feed rate optimization, upstream media selection, and other variable factors.
  • Equipment sourcing and selection for the separations and purification of target products from the fermentation matrix.
  • SOP authoring and equipment training for equipment purchased for pilot plant projects.
  • Deviation reports and analysis for all project deviations are to be presented to both executive management, as well as the client.
  • Safety compliance for solvent storage and safe solvent handling.

Process Development Scientist/Founder

Vertu Bio/LCY Biosciences and Nutrition
Carlsbad
08.2018 - 07.2022
  • Performed laboratory-scale fermentation method development, operations, and optimization in conjunction with other scientists.
  • Responsible for downstream processing, purification method development, operations, and optimization, including extraction and crystallization.
  • Supervised international tech transfer and scale-up of fermentation protocols to 3,000x.
  • Generated detailed and complete batch reports and records for product sample production at lab scale, with full mass balances and purity data.
  • Communicated and reported data to outside engineering counsel for commercial plant construction, and modified lab protocols to better fit with commercial modeling.
  • Participated in weekly team meetings to discuss progress toward project goals and collaborate on solutions.
  • Conducted literature reviews to support research projects and identify new areas of exploration.
