Packaging Engineer with 9 years of experience in product development and industrialization, specializing in plastic, glass, and paper-based packaging. I have led end-to-end packaging projects—from concept and design to industrial validation and production—working closely with suppliers, R&D, and manufacturing teams. My experience includes material selection, technical specifications, cost optimization, and ensuring compatibility between packaging and formulas. I bring a strong hands-on approach, combining technical expertise with practical problem-solving to deliver reliable, efficient, and scalable packaging solutions. I am particularly attentive to feasibility, timelines, and real production constraints. What sets me apart is my ability to bridge design and industrial reality—anticipating risks early, simplifying processes, and ensuring smooth execution from idea to market. Available for freelance projects in packaging development, optimization, and industrial support.
