As a Programmer/Analyst-Plant Automation, I develop and maintain Equipment Automation Systems using tools like Visual Studio, C#, VB.NET, and SQL. I create Windows desktop applications that monitor equipment processes, start and stop operations, collect and analyze data, adjust variables, select product recipes, and interact with databases to ensure seamless operations.I handle a wide variety of database tasks, including data analysis, loading and updating production data, correcting discrepancies, and creating tables, indexes, and relationships, primarily in Oracle 12c. This broad experience allows me to ensure efficient data management, system integration, and overall optimization.I convert legacy applications to modern programming languages, ensuring all systems are up to date. I work closely with manufacturing and production control teams to identify improvements and add new functionality to existing systems.The applications I develop manage data from various sources, integrate with multiple system components, and support real-time decision-making processes. I also provide operational support to ensure optimal system performance. My role requires a deep understanding of programming languages, database management, and effective collaboration with cross-functional teams.

As a Software Engineer at RotoMetrics, I developed and maintained several applications with a focus on multi-tiered architecture and front-end development in Visual Studio using C# and VB.NET. On the back-end, I utilized Oracle database, packages, stored procedures, and PL/SQL. I heavily customized the usage of Oracle's Work In Process module, resulting in durable and long-standing applications that are used in multiple continents. These applications handle all cultural conversions of numbers, dates, and other values between the UI and database.One of the significant accomplishments during my tenure was developing Windows applications and DLLs that provide real-time visibility into orders' movement through manufacturing, accounting for inventory used, and collecting scrap, non-conformance, and QA data. These applications also display special instructions and provide senior management and personnel with costs associated with manufacturing.I also developed a Lathe Application that automates processes for Solid Dies, Magnetic Cylinders, Print Cylinders, Print Sleeves, and Anvils. This application collects data from various sources, assembles them into a machine file, resolves string math equations, and evaluates VBScript functions while populating unresolved values and validating every instruction. After validation, the Lathe Application delivers the compiled code file to the CNC device.In addition to this, I developed a CNC Grinder Application that interfaces mainly with Toyoda CNC grinders. This application collects and assembles data, resolves math, evaluates script functions, and performs numerous validations while creating the Grinder's code file. The results are precise and specific to each customer's order.Furthermore, I created a Windows Service application that automates Heat Treat and Chroming operations. I developed applications that automated phone dialing through Mitel and Rolm systems, along with other utilities and tools.
