Hire the Best Automation Engineers in Alabama

I am a motivated electrical engineer with a focus on controls and embedded systems. I have hands-on experience in many domains, including electrical instrumentation and troubleshooting, programming, network engineering, and systems integration, as well as prototyping and manual machining. I have a particularly strong background in computer networking, and I enjoy applying this to unusual hardware and unique situations. I am a team player, and I love using my diverse background to create innovative tools and solve difficult problems. "I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all."

I’m the founder of Torch Automation, an industrial automation consultancy focused on building modern, reliable applications using Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform. I specialize in designing, modernizing, and supporting SCADA, HMI, and MES solutions for manufacturers and system integrators. My work includes greenfield Ignition builds, legacy system migrations, and improving data visibility, alarming, and operator workflows with an emphasis on long-term maintainability. I’m a Gold Certified Ignition Developer with hands on experience delivering production systems in real manufacturing environments. I value clear communication, practical solutions, and building systems that are easy to support long after deployment. If you’re looking for an Ignition expert who understands both the technology and the plant floor, I’d be happy to help.
