Diagnostics, Automation & Data Systems Professional

Hello, I’m Miguel — nice to meet you!

I am a diagnostics and automation professional with over 13 years of experience in clinical laboratory environments in Sweden and Japan. My background spans LC-MS/MS toxicology, therapeutic drug monitoring, laboratory leadership, and ISO-aligned quality systems.

Today, I focus on designing structured, automation-driven workflows and data systems that improve efficiency, traceability, and analytical reliability in regulated environments. By combining hands-on laboratory expertise with software development and process architecture, I help transform complex laboratory operations into scalable, intelligent systems.
