Why I Care About Building Food Systems? Food is not just an industry. It’s survival, culture, and trust. That’s why when we work in food technology at Sanota, We think beyond machines, We think about people. Over the years, I’ve contributed to building end-to-end food processing lines that help industries scale without losing quality. Some examples:  • 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 → wash, disinfect, dry, and package in one system.  • 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 → for spices, fruits, and vegetables, keeping flavour and shelf life intact.  • 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 → reduce bakery waste and turn it into reusable input.  • 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 → for seafood, ensuring safety and consistency.  • 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝘂𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 → scalable solutions to make quality dairy at volume. My “𝘄𝗵𝘆” is simple - Food businesses carry huge responsibility. Downtime, waste, or inconsistency doesn’t just affect revenue. it impacts people’s plates. That’s why my focus has been on building reliable, scalable systems that reduce waste, improve efficiency, and deliver safe, high-quality food.
