Profile
About Me
Industrial Electronics Engineer with over 20 years of experience leading automation, maintenance, and control engineering projects in the automotive and manufacturing industries.
Expert in PLC programming (Allen Bradley, Siemens), SCADA (Ignition), robotics, and vision systems, with a proven track record implementing TPM, predictive maintenance, and digital transformation initiatives.
From designing traceability and process control systems to leading plant modernization projects, I bridge the gap between automation technology and operational reliability. I’ve helped global manufacturers like Stellantis, Daimler, Magna, and BorgWarner improve OEE, reduce downtime, and optimize maintenance KPIs (MTTR, MTBF, DFR).
Passionate about continuous improvement and Industry 4.0 integration, I deliver scalable technical solutions that align engineering performance with productivity, quality, and sustainability goals.

i4.0, Traceability, SQL, C#, ASP, Transaction Manager, PLC Developed and deployed a comprehensive traceability system for multiple automated production lines, integrating Allen Bradley and Siemens PLCs, SCADA (Ignition, FactoryTalk View), and SQL databases. The system captured real-time process parameters, part IDs, test results, and production events, linking them to the final product genealogy for full manufacturing traceability. Designed and programmed custom data interfaces and dashboards (ASP web applications and Visual C# tools) to visualize production metrics, OEE, and defect trends. Implemented barcode and vision-based part tracking using Keyence and Cognex systems to ensure part integrity and compliance with customer quality standards. This solution significantly improved data transparency, root-cause analysis, and quality audit readiness, reducing traceability-related downtime and manual data entry by over 60%.
I have worked with FactoryTalk View, WinCC, TIA Portal, Ignition, ProTool and many others. I have developed operator interface systems (HMI panels) from scratch, including design, configuration, and integration with PLC and SCADA environments
At BorgWarner, I implemented Cognex (IS5000, IS7000) and Keyence (IV-3, IV-4, IX-150) vision systems to prevent quality defects, achieving annual savings of USD 650K by reducing scrap and eliminating third-party inspection costs. At Fives Cinetic, with Daimler as the end customer, I designed and developed an automated press for installing multiple types of bearings, integrating a Keyence CV-X vision system for in-process validation and quality assurance.
