About

An accomplished Senior PLC/Project Engineer with a comprehensive understanding of industrial automation, driven by a commitment to problem-solving and tangible results. My expertise spans across the entire project lifecycle, from concept study and programming to hardware commissioning, operator training, and rigorous system validation. I excel in diverse technical environments, proficient in Siemens TIA Portal, S7-1500/300, Pilz Safety PLC, and Allen Bradley systems for both PLC and HMI programming. My recent work includes debugging and optimizing critical fault reporting systems for Amazon and integrating advanced robotics into existing production lines for major automotive manufacturers like Volvo Cars. What sets me apart is my ability to translate complex technical requirements into practical, documented solutions that significantly improve efficiency and reliability. I have a consistent history of leading teams and projects, ensuring adherence to high industry standards (e.g., automotive, material handling, nuclear). My international project experience, particularly in Sweden, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands, has honed my adaptability and cross-cultural communication skills. My focus is always on delivering high-quality, validated systems that meet and exceed client expectations, regardless of location.
