What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior engineering leadership roles focused on reliability, scalable systems, RCA-driven improvement, and cross-functional capital projects in mission-critical environments.

I am a senior technical manager with over 20 years' experience ensuring availability, performance, and scalability of complex, multi-site industrial control systems. My background in Electronics, IT, and Computer Systems gives me a strong technical foundation across hardware and software domains.

As Director of Engineering and Capital Projects I led cross-functional teams supporting 24/7 industrial technology, including a 30MW powerplant real-time control system, and served as senior point of contact for internal clients across multiple sites. I apply Lean Six Sigma Black Belt principles to structured Root Cause Analysis and continuous improvement that reduced critical downtime by over 10%.

My hands-on experience includes Windows-based distributed control systems, automation scripting (Visual Basic, C#-style), networking concepts and protocols (TCP/IP, Modbus), PCB/firmware familiarity, and deployment/configuration practices for high-availability environments. I have managed scalability and capacity planning across large multi-site enterprises and driven cost-optimization initiatives.

I am a quick study eager to pivot my deep experience in resilient, cost-optimized industrial systems into cloud software environments where I can apply systems-level thinking, incident response expertise, and automation to improve reliability and operational efficiency.
