Less time assembling. More room for judgement.

Chemical engineer with experience across production, quality assurance and regulatory affairs. I build practical digital tools that reduce the searching, reconciling and formatting around expert review.

Selected work

Tools built around real work

01 — Built & led

Net Weight Management operator application

An Excel/VBA application for line operators: weighing data, statistical monitoring and automatic database records. I led implementation and developed tools supporting filling optimisation and net weight constraints.

03 — Adaptation

A model-agnostic ICM framework

My personal adaptation of the ICM methodology by Jake Van Clief and David McDermott: folders act as workflows, scripts enforce boundaries, and every run leaves a record. The repository documents compatibility per assistant.

Local models

How I actually use them

I run and compare models on my own hardware for document workflows, drafting and cross-checks. Outputs stay provisional until I review them against the task and sources. It is an ongoing part of how I experiment and build.
