About

I work as a Senior Automation Engineer, helping industries and data centers gain real-time operational visibility, reduce downtime, and improve efficiency through scalable SCADA and industrial data solutions. I specialize in building and integrating systems using ICONICS, Canary, OPC UA/DA, Modbus, and SNMP, enabling seamless communication between machines, systems, and enterprise platforms. My focus is on transforming raw industrial data into actionable insights that drive smarter decisions. With 4+ years of hands-on experience, I’ve delivered end-to-end automation solutions—from onsite commissioning and configuration to FAT, SAT, and integration testing—working directly with real-world plant and data center environments. I believe that automation should simplify, not complicate. That’s why I design solutions that are not only technically robust but also intuitive, reliable, and easy to maintain. 🔹 Key Focus Areas: • Real-time monitoring & visualization • Industrial communication (OPC, Modbus, SNMP) • SCADA system design & deployment • Downtime reduction & operational efficiency I’m currently open to new opportunities where I can contribute to impactful automation and digital transformation projects. 📩 Let’s connect via email or phone to discuss how I can add value.
