LIMS & Lab informatics consulting
I've spent 30 years on LIMS projects: first using these systems as a customer, then configuring them as a vendor, now advising the labs that run them. I've led vendor selections, scored RFPs, written requirements, validated systems, and carried projects through go-live. Most consultants have done one of those things. I've sat on both sides of the table and done all five.
No platform allegiance, no reseller margin riding on the outcome. Just 30 years of pattern recognition across the major LIMS platforms and many of the smaller, specialized ones, applied to labs navigating everything from 21 CFR Part 11 to ISO 17025 and beyond.
