I've issued test methods and validation or verification reports that are aligned with ISO and ASTM standards. I work with various med devices and perform design and device verification testing and summarize the results in technical reports for FDA filing. I also work with packaging and execute simulated shipping and handling using ASTM and ISTA standards.
