Principal Industrial Automation Architect delivering scalable Rockwell-based control system strategy.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a principal-level automation leader with 30+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale control systems across global manufacturing environments. I specialize in Rockwell Automation ecosystems, including PlantPAx, ControlLogix, and Studio 5000, and I focus on PLC/DCS architecture and process instrumentation integration to improve reliability, performance, and scalability. I’ve led architecture and modernization efforts that translate directly into measurable downtime reduction, compliance gains, and operational efficiency.
Across my roles, I’ve driven large capital project execution ($50K–$100M+), built functional specifications and P&IDs into practical system designs, and supported troubleshooting, commissioning, and optimization from concept through startup. As a technical advisor and strategist, I partner with customers, system integrators, and executive leadership—positioning smart manufacturing, predictive maintenance, and integrated automation solutions while delivering hands-on training, workshops, and mentorship to accelerate adoption.
