About Stephen Dudek

Currently leading four teams of 18 development chemists, process engineers, analytical chemists, and data scientists to understand, improve, and deploy several complex chemical production lines. I scaled up production four fold, doubled first-pass yields, doubled the quantities of material produced, and halved total production time. I continue to improve process chemistry, as well as code the metrics, monitoring systems, and production visualization tools for the company to follow. I am the rare candidate with a deep Ph.D chemistry background, management experience, software-engineer chops, and data visualization expertise.
