I am a Chemical Engineer with a focus on industrial automation. I have experience in a variety of industrial automation systems, from both the testing and applications perspective. My embedded software test expertise is in test design, execution and reporting. I have strong analytical and problem-solving skills. My technical skills include PLC systems, communications networking and human-machine interfaces. My interpersonal skills include coaching and listening.Although much of my recent experience is in firmware testing, and I would welcome the opportunity to return to testing, I also have a desire to get back to PLC applications. Testing is fun and I'm very good at it, but I miss the process of identifying the customer's requirements, designing the system and starting it up. Although I can apply my skils to any industry, I would like to work either in the chemical or food industries or as a consultant in the Northeast Ohio area.I am also an entrepreneur. I recently started Custom Culinary Creations, a business that provides hand-sculpted food centerpeces to caterers and event planners.Specialties: • Well acquainted with Rockwell Automation's ControlLogix line of programmable controllers, as well as legacy Allen-Bradley controllers • Experienced with Rockwell Automation’s RSLogix 5000 programming software, including Relay Ladder Logic (RLL), Structured Text, Function Block and Sequential Function Chart programming languages• Familiar with C++, Python and BASIC programming languages, and ControlNet, EtherNet and DeviceNet networking systems• Exposure to XML and HTML
