Food Scientist (MSc) & AI Developer | Edible Coatings, Shelf-Life, AI Assisted R&D
I'm a Food Scientist with hands on R&D experience in food formulation, edible coatings, shelf-life studies, and production scale up. I also build machine learning models that make R&D decisions faster and cheaper.
This combination is genuinely rare. Most food scientists don't build ML models. Most ML developers don't understand ingredient interactions, GLP, or what shelf-life data actually means. I sit at both ends, which means I can deliver practical output, not just analysis.
I am new to this platform, but I am not new to the industry. My experience comes from EU Horizon-funded research labs and commercial pilot plants (Funditec, EIT Food). To eliminate any hesitation, I offer a free 15-minute technical discovery call where I will review your product brief and point out 2-3 formulation bottlenecks you haven't considered, before you pay me a cent.
What I can do for you:
🧪 Food Formulation & Product Development
I've developed 24 functional edible coating formulations at Funditec (Madrid), managing the full cycle from lab scale prototyping to pilot plant validation. I've extended coated product shelf life by 10% through QC and stability studies, and I produce the full documentation trail: traceability files, technical data sheets, ingredient specs, and regulatory aligned records.
🤖 AI & Machine Learning for Food R&D
I built an ML model that generates and evaluates food formulations from ingredient and constraint inputs: cutting trial and error lab cycles. I can design similar custom models for supplement brands, food manufacturers, or R&D consultancies who want to move faster on formulation decisions.
🌱 Sustainable Agriculture & Food Tech Research
I've contributed to EU Horizon-funded research (PataFEST / Farm2Fork initiative), conducting molecular and ecological analyses on potato resistance genes and implementing Integrated Pest Management strategies. I know how to translate scientific findings into practical recommendations and policy-aligned deliverables.
💡 Innovation Strategy & Commercialization
Through EIT Food programs in Italy and Germany, I've developed and pitched commercialization strategies for food technologies to investors and worked in international multidisciplinary teams under real commercial pressure.
I work well with: Food & beverage startups, supplement brands, contract manufacturers, R&D consultancies, agri-food companies, and anyone who needs scientific rigor combined with practical delivery.
Available immediately. To get started, just invite me to your job post and I'll reply within 2 hours with a specific action plan for your project.

I develop non-alcoholic beverages that survive the factory, not just the lab bench.
Seven years in FMCG beverage R&D. I led a ready-to-drink tea, coffee and milk-based beverage range from first bench trial to commercial launch across multiple variants, and validated a new production plant end to end. My job is to make sure lab and trial sample scale in the factory, then survive and thrive in the market.
What I do:
- beverage formulation and reformulation (RTD tea and coffee, dairy and plant-based, juices, flavoured water, CSDs, functional and electrolyte drinks)
- sugar reduction and sweetener systems
- shelf-life and stability study design, and diagnosing why a product is failing
- separation and sedimentation troubleshooting
- sensory panel design
- scale-up from bench to production line
- HACCP plans and food safety documentation
- ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 internal auditing (certified 2023)
- NAFDAC and SON registration for Nigeria market entry.
How I work: you have the lab or the co-packer; I bring the formulation judgement. You get specifications, trial matrices and protocols your team executes, then I interpret the results with you and iterate. Remote, and far cheaper than a consultant who has to be on site.
Tell me what you are launching, reformulating, or trying to fix.
