Electrical controls engineer specializing in automated systems and processes. Experienced with 2D/3D AutoCAD design, PLC/HMI/SCADA programming, panel builds, project installation, and troubleshooting. Industry experience in industrial, food & bev, packaging, and conveyance. Proficient with: -PLC/HMI/SCADA programming -AutoCAD 2D/3D -Electrical panel builds -Project commissioning -Remote 24/7 support is available upon request Communication is important to me during every project.

I am an engineer with 30 years experience in the automotive industry. I have worked a variety of engineering positions and have a multitude of skills. The bulk of my engineering career was spent as a controls engineer and hybrid software developer, with ten years in engineering management. I have added cabinet design and manufacturing to my resume in the last year. I have been woodworking and cabinet making since high school in the 1980s and I have had a full home shop where I did cabinetmaking as a part time hobby. Recently I focused on those skillsets in an effort to become a freelancer and added Mozaik cabinet software to my skillset. This along with V-Carve has helped me round out my cabinet making skills and bring them to current generation. I am skilled in Mozaik from system setup to design and CNC programming. My engineering background has been very helpful in shortening the learning curve for Mozaik and V-Carve. In addition to my engineering career I have also been an avid photographer since I was the age of 7. I shot film until the 90s when I transitioned to digital photography and have been editing and post processing photos for over 25 years. I have traveled to many foreign countries and shot photographs. I routinely shoot a dozen weddings per year and edit all my photos on a high end computer system. I have great skills in project management and follow directions well. I ask questions if something is unclear and offer suggestions if I see something that can be improved. My goal is to develop a base of satisfied clients that return for the quality and consistency of my work. My years of experience give me a unique perspective in the engineering field as I have a good understanding of the cross functional environment in todays workplace. Working within a team of various disciplines is very comfortable for me.

15 years experience PLC programming in Siemens S5, S7, and Simadyn-D controllers, Siemens S120, G120, Micromaster and cycloconverter drives, Wonderware and Win-CC HMI's. 3 years experience with Rockwell Automation (Allen Bradley) Micro800, CompactLogix, and ControlLogix PLC's, PV800, PV+ HMI's. Also experience in ABB ACS drives, Toshiba TM10 drives, GE UC Controllers, and many more. Have experience in updating and upgrading existing processes, taking a project from concept to commissioning and operation. 12 years operating and maintaining nuclear plants on US Navy submarines, 8 years experience in the steelmaking industry, 1 year experience in the asphalt shingle industry.

I graduated with honors from Southern Polytechnic State University with a bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering. I have worked professionally as a control systems engineer for over a decade, mainly working with clients in the water and waste water treatment industry. Over this time, I have gained profound experience using all of the devices available from most of the big name PLC and SCADA software manufacturers, such as Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric, Automation Direct, Wonderware, Maple Systems, etc. I have also gained experience in a variety of other areas, including performing electrical wiring, submitting design documents, managing projects, designing CAD drawings, configuring applications, designing and troubleshooting network configurations, creating HMI's, and much more.

I’m an Electrical Engineer specializing in power systems, data analysis, and technical problem-solving, with hands-on experience in both research and real-world engineering applications. I’ve worked as an R&D Intern at a national laboratory and as a Research Assistant at a university lab, where I developed and implemented solutions involving energy systems, data collection, and simulation. My experience includes solar photovoltaic system design with detailed financial analysis, as well as building secure data pipelines using Python, Modbus TCP, and cloud-based tools. I focus on delivering practical, results-driven solutions—whether that’s analyzing data, automating workflows, or supporting engineering projects from concept to execution. What I can help you with: Power systems analysis (PSCAD, OpenDSS, MATLAB/Simulink) Python automation & data processing (pandas, visualization, scripting) Engineering research & technical documentation Energy systems (solar, microgrids, BESS) Data collection systems (Modbus, IoT, databases) Feasibility & financial analysis for engineering projects I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering high-quality work on time. Whether you need help with a one-time task or a larger project, I’m ready to contribute. Let’s connect and discuss how I can add value to your project.
