What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying control systems, automation, and product design skills in collaborative teams that value optimization, compliance, and measurable efficiency gains.

I am an industrial engineer with an electrical emphasis and a strong analytical background, focused on control systems and product design. I graduated with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Florida and earned academic scholarships during my studies.

In industry roles I have led UL-listed control panel and VFD bypass product integrations, produced schematics and compliance documentation, and delivered technical presentations to engineering teams. I standardized a VFD bypass panel now used across a company product line.

My project experience includes solar power feasibility assessments, Simio simulations for system optimization, supplier negotiations, and development of implementation roadmaps. I have also automated operational reporting with Python and authored company-wide implementation guides.

I seek roles where I can apply systems optimization, automation, and cross-functional coordination to advance product design and control solutions while contributing measurable efficiency and compliance improvements.
