Five-plus years across GMP pharmaceutical and FMCG manufacturing — optimising batch processes, commissioning equipment, and driving Lean improvements that hold up under audit.


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.
Analysed the viscosity–temperature relationship and introduced controlled pre-heating: 1,200 kg dispensed in 40 minutes, down from over 2.5 hours.
Commissioned and validated a new gel production line, launching two weeks ahead of schedule with GMP compliance and on-time client delivery intact.
Optimise batch processes, fluid transfer and mixing operations across liquid, softgel, capsule, tablet, cream, gel and packaging lines. Run process risk assessments, lift OEE by cutting downtime, troubleshoot pumps, heat exchangers, emulsifiers, homogenisers, encapsulation machinery and SCADA, and close deviations through CAPA.
Enforced OSHA standards and ran regular safety training across all production stages. Forecast inventory with cross-functional teams, balanced skilled and unskilled labour against targets, and integrated TPM principles to reduce downtime and raise OEE under GMP.
Supervised and led normal shift operations, holding the plant to management's rate within quality and quantity limits. Completed daily batches in BAAN/SAP, followed preventive maintenance schedules, and worked on plant efficiency, downtime reduction, yield and loss control.
Assisted the HOD with day-to-day production planning in the dyeing department, and created and maintained batch records for all production data.
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.
