Loss avertedref 001
AUD 0k

Identified critical overfilling on a new equine and canine gel line — product loss valued near AUD 85,000 — then drove recalibration and fill-volume tuning to stop it.

Glucose dispensingref 002
2.5h 40m

Analysed the viscosity–temperature relationship and introduced controlled pre-heating: 1,200 kg dispensed in 40 minutes, down from over 2.5 hours.

Line commissioningref 003
0 wks

Commissioned and validated a new gel production line, launching two weeks ahead of schedule with GMP compliance and on-time client delivery intact.

About

Precision, held on the floor.

I work where process engineering meets the plant floor — the point where a good procedure either holds or fails. My focus is predictable manufacturing: fewer deviations, tighter cycle times, higher yields, and batch documentation that survives an audit without drama.
