Introduction #

If I could summarize my career into chapters of a book, I would put my time prior to LifeLabs into one chapter, my time at LifeLabs and post LifeLabs into another chapter.

I used to work at Testmark and AECL,

  1. I developed the expertise in lab accreditation, quality control and quality assurance.

  2. I had hands-on experience on GC-MS. I developed a volatile organic compounds with GC-MS.

  3. In addition, I built advanced skills in macro.

This is what one chapter is all about.

AT LifeLabs, I have done method troubleshooting and gained:

  1. the experience of SPE,

  2. the knowledge and experience of enzymatic hydrolysis, chemical hydrolysis (solvolysis, methanolysis), and

  3. the experience in GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS operation

  4. Moreover, I have ability to design complex experiments

Besides that, I also implemented R applications for quality control and troubleshooting purpose.

  1. After my time at LifeLabs, I kept learning the theory, applications, and troubleshooting about LC-MS/MS by attending webinars, reading articles on websites (such as MSACL (mass spectrometry and advanced in the clinical lab), LC|GC, chromatography vendors), watching YouTube videos, and developing my blog.

  2. gain some knowledge of high-resolution LC-MS.

  3. read literature

This is what I would put in another chapter, The key words are LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS, design of experiments, and R.

In summary, my strength is the mixed skills in quality, data processing, statistical analysis, and some experience in LC-MS/MS.
