Pedro A.

I am a Senior Chemical Engineer with extensive hands-on experience leading operations in multinational manufacturing environments and helping independent brands scale up with precision. My job is simple: I turn bench-scale formulations and lab prototypes into stable, compliant, and commercially viable products. Currently serving as Head of Fermentation for a major industrial manufacturer, I manage large-scale bioprocesses involving complex yeast management, industrial enzyme technologies, production planning, and SAP-driven operational control. I combine this industrial rigor with deep formulation expertise to deliver real-world engineering solutions. I know what it takes to formulate a world-class product from scratch: In 2025, a product I formulated, developed, and standardized—Diodin London Dry—was awarded Best Argentinian Gin, Best Gin of the Americas, and ranked among the Top 7 Gins in the World at the World Drinks Awards. I apply that exact standard of technical excellence to every client project. My core expertise spans the entire product lifecycle, from R&D to full-scale plant commissioning: • Industrial Fermentation & Biotechnology Consulting: Expertise in yeast kinematics, enzyme dosing/technologies, bioprocess optimization, and root-cause troubleshooting for industrial alcohol, spirits, malt-based beverages, and specialty fermentations. • Process Engineering, Scale-Up & Operations Planning: Developing Master Batch Records (MBRs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), mass balances, and Technology Transfer packages. Streamlined production workflows, supply chain planning, and SAP material/production execution to align with Contract Manufacturers (CMOs). • Cosmetics & Personal Care Formulation: Developing premium skincare serums, emulsions, beard oils, and haircare products. Resolving stability challenges (oxidation, phase separation, preservation) while ensuring strict IFRA compliance and dermal safety for fragrance profiles. • Quality Systems & Advanced Troubleshooting: Identifying why a batch failed, resolving fermentation stalls or off-flavors, rectifying physical instability, and implementing robust quality control protocols to protect your investment. I don’t just hand over a theoretical recipe; I deliver actionable, factory-ready engineering packages designed for seamless manufacturing.
