With over nine years of experience in electrical controls, engineering, and automation, I am a Senior Controls Engineering Manager at Staples, where I lead a team of engineers and technicians in designing, developing, and implementing control systems and automation solutions for various production and assembly machines, along with fulfillment center automation projects. My core competencies include control systems design, industrial automation programming, integration of robotics, .NET applications development, CAM profiles, research and development, and project management. I have successfully applied these skills in multiple industries, such as manufacturing, supply chain, and theme parks. Two of my most recent accomplishments were conceptualizing and prototyping a unit sortation machine that automates the entire order fulfillment process, and design and implementation of a warehouse control system that increased fulfillment center throughput by over 25%. My mission is to leverage my technical expertise and leadership skills to optimize the performance, reliability, and safety of the automation systems and processes while continuing to grow both personally and professionally.
