Head of Global NIR Applications @Buchi
Ph.D. in Agrifood Engineering and Biotechnology with a Master in Statistics and Data Science, and bachelor in Unit Operations Engineer for the food industries. Post-doctoral research (3.5 years) at the Ohio State University working with Dr. Buffington and Dr. Rodriguez-Saona. For more than 14 years, my working areas have been focused on the application of molecular spectroscopy, applied chemometrics, data analytics (Big Data, Machine Learning and AI), lab and factory digitalization, instrumental analysis development and validation, statistics, and bioinformatics. Extended education: 3 Eigenvector University (Seattle, WA - 2011, 17, and 18), Python (UMSL – St. Louis. MO 17-19), 8 courses UPC Statistics Summer School (2011-2014 - 2021 - 2022), and Tensioactive (CED, 2020) In Croda, I served as Technical Manager (Quality and Development Department Head) and Process Innovation Technology expert (Ditton,UK) on PAT spectroscopy, chemometrics, process informatics, data analytics, digitalization, and in-line sensors. I manage a chemist's scientist team focus on the implementation of new products and technology. I have a global role in providing the best molecular spectroscopy technology and data analytics for all the company. Previously, in Purina, I was in charge of NIR global group, digitalization of the labs, and model development for 40 Purina factories and 4 R&D PetCare centers worldwide. Led a global NIR working group and Nestle PAT Chemometrics and Sensors Network. Lead of 8 projects on basic research. Supporting research tasks with engineering, product development, palatability, nutrition, and ingredient teams. I've published 29 articles in international journals, 1 book chapter on analytical methods for screening techniques, and 1 chapter on NIR. My research is focused on the application of the data analytics for chemometrics in spectroscopy (NIR, IR, R

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's extensive experience is primarily in scientific research, analytical chemistry, and product management within the food, pharma, and laboratory equipment sectors. While they have strong data science and machine learning skills, their career trajectory has been focused on applying these in a scientific/analytical context rather than core software engineering. The target role 'Software Engineer' might not align perfectly with their past roles, which are more geared towards scientific leadership, application development within a scientific domain, and data analysis rather than general-purpose software development, architecture, or infrastructure. The lack of traditional software engineering projects or roles suggests a potential mismatch for a typical software engineering cultural environment.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership, project management, and team management skills through various roles. Their experience in stakeholder engagement, conflict resolution, and public speaking indicates robust communication and interpersonal abilities. The focus on research, problem-solving, and strategic thinking suggests a good fit for roles requiring innovation and analytical rigor. However, the resume does not provide specific examples of collaboration within a software engineering team context, which is crucial for a 'Software Engineer' role.
