About
Lab automation engineer building an automated weighing robot system for Lilly’s analytical chemistry group, integrating a 6-axis Mecademic robot, Mettler Toledo balance, and vision/barcode verification with safety protocols for live lab operation. Experienced in production Python for instrument control, data processing, and CV/ML, including authenticated Data Lake API integrations with fault handling. Also improved automated sample storage throughput 2–3x via pick-order optimization and partners closely with scientists to deliver MVP-to-production experimental automation workflows.

Key Strengths
- Integrated multi-device lab automation system (robot arm, balance, cameras) for live analytical chemistry environment
- Methodical risk-reducing test strategy (manual validation before robot runs; incremental pick-and-place testing)
- Robust production integrations using authenticated REST APIs with retries and error reporting
- Strong cross-layer troubleshooting using logs/data/video to isolate root cause
- Identified and resolved liquid handler under-dispensing by pinpointing a single failing channel and replacing tubing/syringe
- Delivered 2–3x faster automated sample retrieval by optimizing pick order
- User-centered delivery with scientists: MVP-first, iterative feedback, training and SOPs
