About

Food Process System Expert.

Food industry. 10+ years. Three continents.

I'm a Food Process System Expert with over a decade of experience in food R&D and manufacturing — working across the Netherlands, Cameroon, and internationally on complex food production systems.

I'm now running my own practice: consulting for food manufacturers and R&D teams, building a food manufacturing facility in Cameroon, and writing Process Notes — a weekly technical newsletter for food engineering professionals.

Mission
“Practical engineering insights, without the noise.”

Process Notes exists to bridge the gap between academic food science and the real decisions engineers, founders, and manufacturers face every day. Every issue is written from first-hand experience — not theory.
