  • Electrical Engineer - Autmation & Software

    Inteplast Group
    2022.08-Current(4 years)
    (3 years 11 months) • Led facility-wide control systems and data initiatives, focusing on IIoT architecture and SCADA integration across multi-vendor high-volume manufacturing environments. • Led 10+ high-complexity legacy system retrofits, migrating hardwired relay and embedded controls to modernized Allen-Bradley PLC/HMI architectures — achieving a 50% reduction in control-related downtime across extrusion production. • Engineered a facility-wide SCADA solution integrating PLC-controlled processes from multiple vendors (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Unitronics) across 10 production lines into a unified real-time monitoring and control system. • Architected a Python-based IIoT data pipeline connecting 5–10 production lines via OPC-UA / EtherNet/IP to a centralized MySQL database, enabling real-time performance analytics and automated management reporting. • Developed Django web applications delivering real-time production and quality dashboards to engineering and maintenance teams, eliminating ~90% of manual data entry across operations. • Standardized electrical documentation using SolidWorks Electrical and designed technical training programs for maintenance teams, improving internal troubleshooting capability.
  • Software Engineer

    Honeywell
    2022.01-2022.05(5 months)
    Specialized software engineering role on Honeywell's dedicated technical support team, providing remote Tier-3 support for large-scale automated conveyor and sortation systems deployed at a major national retailer's distribution center network. • Delivered dedicated Tier-3 remote technical support maintaining uptime for large-scale conveyor and sortation systems spanning entire distribution facilities — controlled by Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLCs and proprietary embedded control systems. • Diagnosed complex system failures by analyzing PLC ladder logic, electrical schematics, C#, and C++ source code to trace root causes across hardware and software layers; coordinated with Allen-Bradley technical support for platform-specific escalations. • Collaborated with internal project engineering teams to identify, document, and resolve outstanding software defects with recurring operational impact. • Operated as the primary remote engineering interface for on-site client personnel, guiding local employees through diagnostics and corrective actions in real time to minimize disruption to high-throughput distribution operations.

    Inteplast Group
    2019.07-2022.01(3 years)
    (2 years 7 months) Initial tenure at Inteplast Group, where I built the controls and data foundation that later evolved into facility-wide IIoT and SCADA platforms. Focused on PLC/HMI system design, legacy retrofits, and early-stage industrial data acquisition. • Designed and commissioned PLC/HMI systems for high-volume extrusion production lines, including a major retrofit of a proprietary microcomputer system to Allen-Bradley ControlLogix with 250+ analog and digital I/O points — supporting 2M+ lb/month production. • Migrated 5 relay-based control systems to Unitronics and Allen-Bradley ControlLogix platforms with 100+ I/O points each, supporting 700K+ lb/month extrusion production with improved reliability and diagnostics. • Developed early-stage Python data acquisition scripts and MySQL database structures that became the foundation for the facility-wide IIoT pipeline built in the subsequent tenure. • Established SolidWorks Electrical as the standard for electrical documentation across the facility.
