- Process Optimization: Transformed a highly manual Alpha Spectrometry workflow into an automated digital pipeline, reducing technician "task saturation" and manual data handling by over 75%.
- Inter-Branch Scalability: Engineered a centralized synchronization portal that provides "Remote Data Review" capabilities for scientists across four separate business branches simultaneously.
- Internal Controls & Compliance: Implemented digital audit trails and timestamping (matching AcquisitionTimestamp data) to meet the rigorous reporting standards of high-level investors.
- Stakeholder Communication: Translated complex technical throughput gains into actionable "investor-grade" reporting, showcasing clear ROI through overhead reduction.
- Collaborative Innovation: Developed core application architecture under the major inspiration and careful mentoring of Andy Kart, ensuring the solution met both technical and enterprise-level standards.
Skills
- Software Development & System Integration: Developed bespoke "middle-man" applications to automate the extraction and processing of raw laboratory data (XML, CSV, JSON) from mass spectrometry software
- Database Management: Architected automated data pipelines to replace manual entry, ensuring high-fidelity synchronization of results across four distinct corporate branches
- Quantitative Analysis & Algorithm Design: Programmed automated calculation engines to handle complex dilution factors and activity levels, eliminating manual "wet-lab" calculation errors
- Data Analysis & Analytical Optimization: Built custom parsing tools to extract relevant data points (such as SampleID and Absorption peaks) for real-time reporting
- Risk Mitigation Strategies: Integrated automated validation rules into software to flag outliers and ensure data integrity prior to scientist review
- LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) Implementation: Expertise in streamlining the "Submission-to-Reporting" lifecycle through modern governance, risk, and compliance software solutions
