About

I am a freelance consultant with around 20 years of experience in the Pharmaceutical, Biopharmaceutical and API manufacturing industries, covering Validation engineering, commissioning and Qualification of equipment, clean utilities and manufacturing processes across both upstream and downstream operations. I offer a unique blend of Engineering, Quality, C&Q and regulatory know-how, with hands-on involvement across the Validation Life Cycle and experience in FAT/SAT delivery.

I have worked across multiple countries, delivering projects in compliance with MHRA, FDA and EMA requirements. I am proficient with DELTA V, SCADA, Syncade, PI and synTQ, and I excel in CQV activities, risk assessments, CAPA and GMP/GDP regimes, with extensive exposure to QA tasks, audits and regulatory inspections.
