About

I'm a Food Technologist who finds the process of building a food product genuinely fascinating from the first formulation trial to the final compliance sign-off. Right now I'm doing that inside a nutrition startup, which means I wear a lot of hats. Ingredient evaluation, in-house trials, regulatory documentation, quality coordination sometimes all in the same week. It's taught me to think on my feet without losing attention to detail. One thing I've genuinely enjoyed is being exposed to both sides the science of a formulation and the process around it. I'm still learning, but that cross-functional exposure early on has shaped how I approach problems. The food industry is shifting fast functional foods, nutraceuticals, cleaner labels and honestly, that's what makes it exciting to be in this space right now.
