Innovative Protein Engineer and Food Scientist with 8+ years of experience spanning enzyme engineering, bioprocess development, and food technology. Currently leading enzyme development initiatives at ADM's cutting-edge facility, where I specialize in designing novel enzymatic solutions for animal nutrition and food applications. As the former Co-founder and CSO of Peak B Inc., I successfully led the development of breakthrough natural food colorants from lab concept to commercial scale, securing $1.3M in seed funding and establishing robust manufacturing protocols. My doctoral research at UC Davis resulted in patented technologies for enzymatic modification of anthocyanins and novel approaches to sustainable food ingredients. Core expertise includes: • Protein engineering and enzyme development • Bioprocess scale-up (bench to pilot) • Fermentation optimization • Food formulation and stability • Cross-functional team leadership • Process development and optimization • Regulatory compliance in food ingredients Passionate about leveraging biotechnology to create sustainable food solutions that address global challenges. Proven track record in translating scientific innovations into commercial products, with experience in: - Enzyme activity optimization - Strain engineering - Natural food ingredient development - Quality control implementation - Technical project management Looking to connect with fellow professionals in AgTech, Food Science, and Biotechnology to explore collaborative opportunities in sustainable food solutions and enzyme engineering.
