About Me

Results-driven Controls Engineer | Expert in PLC Programming & Robot Integration.
With extensive field experience across automotive, brewing, and mining industries. I specialize in end-to-end automation: from PLC code development, HMI design and full robot cell programming to batch process control and energy management.
I've delivered robust control solutions that handle high-speed production, harsh environments, and mission-critical uptime requirements — blending traditional hardwired safety with modern networked systems.
Key strengths:

Multi-platform PLC programming (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Schneider, Omron, Delta)
Industrial robot programming & integration (KUKA, Yaskawa)
Platform Based SCADA systems and plant MES/ERP integration for production planning and monitoring
Troubleshooting under pressure in 24/7 operations
Cross-industry adaptability: from body in white to brewing, packaging and ore handling.

Looking for the next challenge where reliable automation directly drives productivity and safety.
