Project history

Principal Consultant / Founder

GT Manufacturing Intelligence, S.L.
Founded GTMI as a B2B software and technology consultancy focused on industrial software, MES delivery, regulated manufacturing systems, OT/IT integration, and digital transformation. Provides remote consultancy around validated digital execution, product governance, integration boundaries, delivery controls, and scalable software practices for manufacturing clients. Packages prior Saint-Gobain programme experience into repeatable consulting capability for MES, validation, traceability, and delivery governance engagements.

Digital Product Manager - Life Sciences / MES Programme Lead

Saint-Gobain Life Sciences

Pharmaceuticals & Medical Technology

>10.000 team member

Led product and programme delivery for a validated digital execution platform used in regulated Life Sciences manufacturing across US and European sites. Owned roadmap, requirements, backlog direction, validation support, release governance, deployment readiness, and stakeholder alignment across quality, IT, operations, engineering, and leadership. Supported delivery under FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GAMP 5 expectations including URS, VMP, IQ/OQ/PQ, risk assessment, traceability, and audit-ready evidence. Coached and coordinated internal and external contributors across development, testing, DevOps, project management, and site adoption activities.

Lead Developer / Industrial Software Lead

Saint-Gobain Life Sciences

Pharmaceuticals & Medical Technology

Led engineering and technical delivery work around MES-style digital manufacturing tools that became part of a broader validated digital execution platform. Worked directly with manufacturing sites to understand process needs, gather user stories, define digital batch-record-style workflows, and translate operational reality into software requirements. Introduced modern software delivery practices including Git-based version control, CI/CD, automated testing, structured release governance, and improved developer workflows. Designed and supported integrations with enterprise and shop-floor systems including ERP, QMS, databases, label printing, and industrial connectivity boundaries. Acted as Scrum Master and engineering coach, supporting Agile adoption, backlog management, sprint planning, and cross-functional delivery discipline.

Automation and Control Engineer

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Rencol
Delivered plant-facing automation, control, and digitalisation work in manufacturing environments, building shop-floor credibility that later informed MES and product leadership. Supported upgrades to control networks and automation systems, partnered with production teams, and worked on reliability, OEE, downtime, and modernisation initiatives. Helped bridge legacy manufacturing systems with modern software and control tooling, preparing the ground for later paperless manufacturing and digital execution work.

Maintenance Technician

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Rencol Limited
Worked in plant-facing technical maintenance, developing practical understanding of production constraints, equipment reliability, safety, and manufacturing operations. Built the operational grounding later used to design software workflows that fit real manufacturing and operator contexts.

Avionics Technician

Royal Navy
Worked on complex avionics systems in demanding operational environments, developing disciplined troubleshooting, documentation, precision, and technical ownership.
