What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead automation and database projects, work on SCADA/control systems, mentor teams, and drive data-driven operational improvements in industrial environments.

I am a software engineer with over 12 years of experience in IT support, database administration, automation and industrial control system development. I design and implement robust SCADA/automation solutions, develop interfaces, and build data pipelines using C/C++, C#, Python and SQL.

I have led SCADA migrations and deployments for large-scale industrial plants, administered SQL Server and MySQL environments, and automated operations with PowerShell, Bash and Python to increase reliability and reduce response times. I also develop WPF interfaces and OPC/UA integrations for machine control and data acquisition.

I am recognized for technical leadership, user training, and delivering efficient, maintainable solutions that align operations and IT. I hold an Oracle 11g R2 DBA certification and Power BI training, and I focus on data-driven decision-making and practical automation that improves uptime and visibility.
