As a senior controls engineer and technical leader, I thrive on driving innovation and solving complex challenges in the automation and control systems industry. With hands-on experience designing and implementing advanced control solutions for a range of industries—from theme park attractions to renewable energy systems—I’m passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.I specialize in Beckhoff PLCs (TwinCat 3, TwinSAFE) and IEC 61131-3 Structured Text, technologies I’ve used to deliver robust and scalable systems for some of the most groundbreaking projects in the industry. Whether it’s integrating servo-driven animatronics, leading the development of a SCADA system with a custom backend, or optimizing validation processes, I focus on efficiency, innovation, and delivering systems that exceed client expectations.During my time at Simtec Systems, I led the commissioning of a cutting-edge dark ride system, developing the Ignition HMI and establishing modular testing processes that reduced commissioning bottlenecks by 30%. At Enexor BioEnergy, I built an R&D controls team from the ground up, leading the design of the 4th, 5th, and 6th generation CHP systems and spearheading the implementation of a Beckhoff-based SCADA system. At Animax Designs, I led one of the company’s largest projects ever—overseeing the integration of nine large servo-controlled animatronic figures for a touring show.Beyond my technical expertise, I excel at mentoring junior engineers and building high-performance teams that consistently deliver on ambitious goals. I believe in fostering an environment of collaboration and growth, where we combine technical innovation with rigorous project execution.I’m always excited about opportunities to work on innovative, large-scale projects—especially those that leverage Beckhoff technology and require creative problem-solving.
