Forchheim, DE

Worked in the process engineering department as a manager of several vital projects that directly affected the company’s main products of FDA regulated lactate sensors and blood pathogen reagents. Provided independent leadership and ownership of projects with use of reporting tools on two main assignments: developing a capacity model for lactate sensors.

Worked with the group supporting the manufacturing of bis-phenol-acetone (BPA), a precursor to polycarbonate, that also evaluates catalyst and conducts various experimental investigations. Prepared various number of catalyst procedures for running batch reactions used to evaluate the catalyst. Analysis included sample preparation and testing for gas and.
