What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on robotics/automation roles where I can program and optimize welding cells, integrate simulation and AI tools, mentor technicians, and reduce downtime.

I am a hands-on Robotics & Automation Technician with practical experience programming FANUC, Yaskawa Motoman, OTC Daihen, and UR e-Series cobots across production welding cells and automation cells.

I have deployed multi-robot arc welding synchronization (TSYNC / PSTART / PWAIT), performed PLC/HMI diagnostics with Allen Bradley ControlLogix and PanelView Plus, and maintained safety and preventive maintenance systems.

I integrate simulation and vision tools such as MotoSim EG-VRC, NVIDIA Isaac, and FANUC iRVision alongside AI automation — including Sora 2 pre-visualization and custom GPT prompt engines — to accelerate workflow, troubleshooting, and scenario rendering.

Throughout my career I have reduced downtime through pendant troubleshooting, led technician training on alarms and synchronization, and completed targeted certifications to support advanced robotic welding and cobot programming.
