I have 3 years of hands-on experience in the pharmaceutical industry, specifically in API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) manufacturing. I worked as a Quality Assurance Officer, where I was responsible for managing various quality and compliance activities. My role included handling all license-related documentation, overseeing QMS (Quality Management System) procedures, and conducting in-process quality assurance (IPQA) checks. I also have basic working knowledge of both production processes and QC (Quality Control) practices, which helps me support cross-functional teams effectively.
