I used analytical balances and pipettes to measure standards and samples.
Prepared Quality Assurance Samples and ensured that they passed ISO specifications.
I also performed DBV, IFT, Acid and Power Factor testing on samples using BAUR instruments.
I analyzed samples for Oxidation Inhibitors using an IR system.
I determined the Viscosity and Corrosive Sulfur in various samples.
I generated particle data on samples using the BECKMAN coulter instrument.
I analyzed samples for moisture using the Karl Fischer Titration system.
I was responsible for preparing standards and sending them to various TJ/H2b sites as needed.
I worked on several projects in R&D such as determining Ostwald solubility coefficients, Gassing Tendencies, Stray Gassing, Microscopy preps, XRF, and Oxidation Stabilities.
All the analyses were performed under SOP, ISO, GMP, and Environmental Health and Safety Regulations (HSR)
CHEMIST/TEAM LEAD, PACE/KIFF ANALYTICAL
Davis, CA
4/02 - 8/16
In his position I have coordinated with staff to ensure all essential lab duties are performed accurately and in a timely fashion. I have ensured that all instruments are running to their full capacity or are being maintained to run properly. I reviewed and generated reports to ensure high quality and accurate turnover of data. I was responsible for analysis performed on GCMS, GC, and IC instruments. I have tested drinking water samples for low level VOCs. Samples were analyzed for organic and inorganic molecules in air, water, and soil matrices. Extractions were performed on some water and soil samples. I have prepared mixes and QA standards used within the lab. I have provided training to technical staff. All the methods were under SOP and EPA guidelines and required QA strict regulations to be followed.
Pipettes, syringes, pH meters, and analytical balances were used during the analyses.
I used the following computer applications in this position, i.e., Epic Pro, Agilent Chemstation, Chromeleon, Fox Pro databases, Chemstation Data analysis program, Microsoft Word and Excel. Extensive documentation, following protocols, attention to detail.
All the analyses were performed under SOP, EPA, and Environmental Health and Safety Regulations (HSR)
CHEMIST, SYNTEX PHARMACEUTICALS

ASSEMBLER, ZEISS HUMPHREY SYSTEMS
Dublin, CA
6/01 - 8/01
ISO 2001 certified. Assembled lens analyzer equipment under GMP regulof ations for medical devices. I was responsible for building optical heads and housing units to completion according to demand. The Kanban system and Demand Flow Technology were used during this job.
ASSEMBLER, GODIGITAL NETWORKS
Fremont, CA
11/00 - 5/01
ISO 2001 certified. This job entailed routine assembly of telecommunication equipment. I used power tools such as torque drivers along with a variety of hand tools. I also used their computer software to generate labels for the units. Procedures which I worked on included installing and scanning PC boards, as well as assembling grommets, brackets, wire harnesses, and overlays into housing units. Adhesives were used during this process. Then, I connected and fastened the wire harnesses to posts with torque drivers using nuts, washers, and copper grounding. Finally, I dissembled, cleaned, and replaced parts on their warranty units.
