INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION - SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
Mechatronics Engineer with 10+ years taking automated systems from concept to commissioning.
Design to programming to implementation and everything in between.
ABOUT
I specialize in the full integration lifecycle for industrial automation: mechanical design, PLC programming, electrical layout and implementation, safety systems, and pneumatic/hydraulic design. I've worked across robot-guided pick & place, conveyor systems, vision-guided inspection, and complex multi-system cells delivering projects that run reliably from day one.
My background in mechatronics means I speak every discipline's language and can close the gaps that fall between trades. Whether you need a complete cell designed and stood up, a legacy system modernized, or an integration partner for a larger program, I bring the full-stack perspective to get it done right.
CORE CAPABILITIES
Robotics & motion
Industrial robot integration, path programming, end-of-arm tooling, pick & place, and coordinated multi-axis motion.
PLC & controls
Ladder, structured text, function block programming. I/O architecture, HMI development, and network integration.
Mechanical & CAD design
