Michelle Quijano

Hi! I'm Michelle, born and raised in the Philippines. I started my career as a Quality Engineer in a paper mill, where I gained experience in testing the basic properties of different paper grades. Driven by a growing curiosity about product compliance, I joined SGS as a Conformance Analyst, checking the regulatory compliance of domestic commodities including toys, children's products, food contact materials, paper goods, and medical devices, destined for African and Middle Eastern markets.To deepen my experience in product conformity assessment, I moved to Intertek as a Technical Coordinator, where I prepared verification guidelines and inspection checklists for a wide range of non-food products bound for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.Currently, I work as a Product Compliance Engineer in an e-commerce setup, focusing on preparing product-specific compliance checklists, coordinating with third-party labs, and ensuring testing and documentation for toys, children’s products, pet products, and general consumer goods, with listings targeting Amazon US, EU, and CA marketplaces.Having worked in both product conformity assessment and e-commerce compliance, I understand what it takes to keep products safe, properly labeled, and legally ready to sell, whether that’s on shelves or online.
