(Hourly will vary depending on the job.) I am an expert industrial automation engineer and consultant with 20+ years of experience in complete System Integration (SI), Instrumentation, and Controls (I&C) with many industries. These industries include Water and Wastewater, Renewable Energy, Automotive, Food and Beverage, Data Centers, Medical, Pharmaceutical, Boiler, Semiconductor, Steel, and Process. If your system is mostly working but something is off — signals are missing, Serial/Ethernet communication is unclear, or integration isn't behaving as expected — I help you move forward with clarity. What I typically help with: • Control Panel Design, PLC & SCADA integration support • Modbus / Serial /Ethernet IP / OPC UA / MQTT communication issues • IO validation and signal mapping • Submittals and QC • Safety, UL 9540, UL 508A, RIA, CSA, NFPA 79, NEC, NEMA, SIL, IEC, ISA, ANSI, IEEE, NIST compliance • Documentation cleanup and standardization When clients usually bring me in: • A few signals are not working, and the root cause is unclear • Integration is “almost working” but failing in real conditions • Submittals or documentation are slowing down the project • Too many revision cycles with no clear direction • Need structured support to keep the project moving How I work: • Clear scope → clear deliverables • Structured approach (no guesswork) • Minimal back-and-forth once aligned • Focus on practical, field-ready solutions Best fit clients: • System integrators with overflow work • OEMs • Engineering firms • Teams needing consistent support (not one-off chaos) Not a good fit for: • Open-ended “fix everything” requests • Full system ownership across mechanical/process domains • Real-time/on-call emergency support • Undefined scope projects Typical engagement: • Short focused troubleshooting/validation • Submittal & documentation support • Ongoing part-time engineering support If you’re looking for someone reliable who can plug into your workflow and help reduce delays, I'd be happy to connect. Software Expertise: • Python, C, Visual C++, PLC, SQL, .Net script, AutoCAD, Robots, XYZ Gantries, AI Machine Vision, SCADA, Wonderware, Ignition, Factory Talk View Studio, HMI, Motion Controls, End of Line testing (EOL) Systems, Laser Marking, PID Controls, MATLAB Simulink Programming.
