I help busy teams turn messy Jira and Confluence setups into clean, usable execution systems.
If your backlog is cluttered, tickets are unclear, or work keeps getting stuck in clarification loops, I step in and fix the structure — directly inside your tools.
In a typical engagement (3–7 days), I deliver:
- Cleaned and triaged backlog (archived, merged, labelled correctly)
- Clear issue templates (Bug / Feature / Ops Request)
- Simple intake + Definition of Ready checklist
- Practical dashboard (Blocked, Ageing, Ownership visibility)
- Lightweight documentation so your team can maintain it
I don’t deliver theoretical process diagrams.
I configure, clean, document, and leave you with something your team can actually follow.
Best fit:
- Founders or technical leads who need clarity fast
- Small product/dev teams with growing delivery chaos
- Teams that want better Jira hygiene without overcomplication
If you want fewer follow-up questions, cleaner tickets, and calmer sprint boards — I can help.

Hello and welcome!
I’m Dr. Usman Ali (DVM, PhD Animal Nutrition), an Assistant Professor and Pet Nutrition Scientist specializing in dog and cat food, treats, and nutraceutical supplements.
My primary expertise is in pet food formulation and technical evaluation, helping brands and manufacturers develop and validate products that are nutritionally balanced, safe, and scientifically defensible. I work on both new formulations and reformulation projects, including ingredient replacement, dose optimization, and nutritional correction.
In addition, I provide professional support in R&D consulting, regulatory alignment, and compliance documentation, ensuring products meet industry expectations and relevant nutritional standards such as AAFCO and FEDIAF.
My core services include:
1. Dog & Cat Food Formulation (dry, wet/canned, semi-moist)
2. Treats & Functional Chews Formulation (joint, gut, immunity, calming, skin/coat)
3. Pet Supplement Formulation (powders, capsules, tablets, soft chews)
4. Technical evaluation of existing products (formula review, ingredient suitability, dosing accuracy)
5. Nutrient validation and balancing (protein/fat targets, Ca:P ratio, Mg/ash control, taurine, vitamins/minerals)
6. COA review and ingredient quality assessment
7. Guaranteed Analysis (GA) calculations and nutrition labeling support
8. Wet food / canned food guidance (retort-related nutrient stability and practical feasibility)
9. Pet product R&D consulting and New Product Development (NPD)
10. AAFCO / FEDIAF compliance checks and nutrient profile verification
11. Regulatory and safety review of ingredients (dose safety, inclusion limits, interactions)
12. Reformulation for cost reduction and manufacturing feasibility
13. Technical documentation support (formulation reports, product dossiers, SOP guidance)
14. Scientific writing and evidence-based claim justification (whitepapers, technical summaries, literature review)
With international research and applied experience in USA, Japan, South Korea, and Pakistan, I combine academic expertise with real-world formulation and product development support.
If you need a reliable expert to formulate, evaluate, or improve a pet food, treat, or supplement product with strong scientific credibility, I would be happy to collaborate.

Most “Korea research” is done from a desk. Mine is not.
I contact Korean companies directly, visit markets or offices when needed, verify supplier details, and deliver clear English reports you can act on.
I am also a Licensed Administrative Attorney at Translation with U.S. court interpreting experience, allowing me to handle communication, certified Korean-English documentation, and legally authorized paperwork professionally.
✓ Professional Experience
1. Alibaba — Korean localization and content strategy for user-facing materials.
2. Hyundai Motor — U.S.-related cross-border documentation support.
3. U.S. Baseball Umpire System — On-site lead for live sports data collection in Korea and Japan.
4. Automotive Market Research — Korea/Japan field research on pricing and competitor intelligence.
Recent client feedback:
“Darren went beyond online research by visiting markets in person, speaking directly with suppliers, and verifying delivery and payment. The final report was practical and immediately usable, not generic information.”
If you need a Korea-based professional who combines legal authority, enterprise experience, and real-world market knowledge, your project is in reliable hands from start to finish.
Regards,
Darren Lee
