Work History

Process Engineer Associate - Process Solutions

Regeneron
Limerick, Ireland
01.2022 - 05.2023
  • Focused on process improvement, optimization, and validation.
  • Led multiple process-impacting projects involving change controls, risk assessments, process studies, validation, and reports.
  • Developed mechanistic model of UFDF unit operation to quantify product loss. Utilized tool to minimize product build up, resulting in a 20% reduction in product loss and increased overall yield.
  • Proposed new buffer preparation system to cut down on process waste and reduce overall cost of buffer use by 40%.
  • Maintained compliance with GMP regulations by executing Change Controls for updating manufacturing records and process reports.
  • Developed process validation procedures for qualifying single-use bags in manufacturing samples.
  • Managed Change Control, conducting three process validation runs to establish new hold times for chromatography vessels.
  • Regularly used statistical analysis to understand process trends and possible production shifts in yield or critical process parameters.
  • Successfully completed a large filter assessment project to optimize productivity and reduce costs by determining filters to be removed or resized.
  • Conducted bi-weekly clinics showcasing the efficient operation of real-time data interface software.

Process Engineer Associate - Computational Science

Regeneron
Limerick, Ireland
09.2019 - 01.2022
  • Worked with predictive software such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), MATLAB, and DynoChem.
  • Conducted process troubleshooting projects, identifying root causes of investigations.
  • Authored technical documents demonstrating the application of predictive software in identifying root causes of NOEs, EOEs, and DNFs.
  • Utilized predictive software as a process validation tool, demonstrating homogeneity was achieved in mixing studies.
  • Created 3D drawings of process vessels with SpaceClaim builder.
  • Led two major CFD projects to enhance gas transfer by redesigning sparger and updating UFDF mixing and product recovery, resulting in a 10% yield increase.
  • Conducted process area studies comparing similar unit operations across sites to identify key performance differences.
  • Developed MATLAB scripts that accurately predicted reaction rates and gas stripping from fluids.
  • Introduced and trained colleagues and new hires on the usage of new 3D drawing software through recorded instructional videos.

Intern

Flow Technology
Charleville, Ireland
01.2018 - 08.2018
  • Assisted engineers in handover documentation and skid development for client companies.
  • Ensured compliance with regulatory requirements by completing FAT for clients.
  • Utilized CAD to develop process pipework drawings.
  • Spend time with fitters to help ensure design was completed correctly and organized weld logs.
  • Led trolley skid production and ensured effective communication with customers to understand and develop required design.
  • Managed equipment purchasing for trolley skid, assisted with construction, and compiled handover documentation for customer.
  • Led and passed factory acceptance test for trolley skid, meeting customer requirements.
