Hello!I have spent my professional career developing my passion for science into a robust set of skills which have a proven record of excellence. By combining meticulous detail oriented thinking, technical expertise, and innovative ideas; I have been able to solve problems, improve process, and deliver guidance across all aspects of early-stage discovery biologics production and characterization.Specifically, I have a mastered skill-set in the following areas:- Protein Expression/Fermentation across multiple cell lines (E.Coli, HEK293, CHO, and hybridoma) at many scales ranging from 1mL to 60L- Setup and Handling of TFF equipment both automated and manual operation.- Protein Capture and Cleanup with IMAC, HIC, AEX/CEX, Protein A/G/L, and other industry standard methods Utilizing AKTA instruments and unicorn 5/7.- Protein characterization across upstream and downstream process via SDS-PAGE, CE-SDS, DLS and Protein Solubility.- Operation of Agilent HPLC equipment/software in both reverse phase and standard SEC mode for aggregate measurements and stability- Operation of BLI (octet) equipment/software for both protein kinetics and titer measurement with extensive development time on both areas.- Waters LC-MS QTOF with UNIFI systems for reduced mass glycan analysis.- Technical Operations: Microsoft products, computer equipment, lab equipment. If something stops working I am generally the person asked to fix it.My career goal is to lead a team where I can leverage my leadership skills as well as my technical expertise to drive product innovation at the support or discovery stage. Patients need therapies, and passion at all levels makes this happen.Outside of my work life I have a very important job: I am a father and a husband. I also have many hobbies involving computer building/tinkering, cooking, exercising and the occasional book on astrophysics by Sagan or Tyson. While I am very driven in my career, balance between life and work is incredibly important to me.
