Profile Summary

I help food startups and brands turn product ideas into stable, great-tasting, and market-ready formulations. I’m a PhD-qualified Food Scientist with 7+ years of R&D experience developing functional foods, protein and energy bars, nutritional beverages, and clean-label formulations. My background combines hands-on product formulation with scientific analysis of texture, stability, water activity, and shelf-life optimization. I’ve worked on: • Protein-enriched functional bars (patented formulation) • Natural beverages and flavored dairy alternatives • Snack product optimization (texture, flavor, and moisture balance) • Ingredient system design for clean-label and allergen-friendly products • Sustainable product development How I help clients: • Review and optimize existing formulas for functionality and shelf stability • Develop new prototypes that balance nutrition, sensory appeal, and cost • Provide QA/QC and regulatory guidance for clean-label compliance • Support pilot-scale trials, manufacturing setup, and process documentation My goal is to translate complex food science into practical, scalable solutions that make your product launch smoother and your formulation stronger. Let’s work together to build products that are science-backed, consumer-loved, and production-ready.
