Personal development and performance management is also part of my responsibilities.Effective resource planning is ensured, time-off requests and timecards are approved, and regular staff meetings and one-on-ones are held. Staff are trained on new equipment and software, troubleshooting efforts are supported, and coordination with other departments ensures customer orders are processed accurately and on time.Additionally, collaboration on quality control results, keeping work instructions up to date, verifying maintenance schedules, handling work orders, assisting with custom orders, and implementing new processes and equipment are all part of my duties.

Supervised staff in hiring, training, and evaluations, while also overseeing oligonucleotide purification and taking on roles as a Production Scientist I & II and Team Leader. Managed special customer orders, supported HPLC global operations, documented any process deviations, and maintained up-to-date work instructions.Organized the workflow for associates, communicated departmental needs, and collaborated with other departments to ensure products were completed on time and met customer satisfaction. Developed and monitored quality objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs), contributed to budget development, upheld company values, and took on additional duties as needed.

Analyzed data and information to ensure quality, consistency, and accuracy using various analytical tools and sample handling equipment. Maintained detailed and accurate records of samples, products, and instruments. Contributed to an efficient manufacturing environment that complied with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards and performed necessary emergency, safety, and cleaning procedures.Meticulously prepared samples and reagents for analytical and functional assays. Reviewed data from Mass Spec, CE, and HPLC to determine the pass/fail status of oligos.

Followed safety regulations, lab SOPs, and contamination controls while purifying oligos using various techniques. Operated and maintained lab equipment, troubleshooting when necessary. Quantified and sampled oligos for quality control tests, reviewed QC data, and made decisions on the purity of the final product.Used custom software for tasks and product creation, sorted oligos for purification, performed hand coupling of modifications, and conducted salt exchange precipitations for non-routine processes. Troubleshot oligo failures, made informed sorting and purification decisions, followed process flows, and adhered to protocols to prevent carryover contamination.

Prepared surfaces to be painted by washing them, filling holes and cracks with putty and then sanding them until smooth. Applied paint, stain, and other finishes to surfaces with paint brushes, rollers, or sprayers. Mixing and matching paint, stain, and other finishes to job specifications. Covered trim, floors, furnitures, and other surfaces with masking tape, drop cloths, and other protective coverings to keep them free of paint. Communicated with builder and home owners to ensure project were being completed on time and up to specification.
