What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own automation projects from design through commissioning, building reliable PLC/SCADA systems while expanding work in IIoT, predictive maintenance, and OT security.

At WUXI, I architect PLC and HMI control logic for high-precision manufacturing cells, cutting commissioning time by 22% and increasing line throughput by 18% through Kinetix 5700 servo programming.

I've delivered Siemens PLC and WinCC SCADA modernization for municipal water treatment at Larsen & Toubro, bringing a ₹12 crore upgrade in roughly 10% under budget while reducing nuisance alarms by 35%. Earlier at Thermax, I supported boiler and effluent-treatment automation from panel checks through startup, contributing to a 100% first-pass FAT rate.

I take projects from P&ID review through FAT, SAT, and startup, using Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Ignition, OPC-UA, MQTT, PID tuning, and practical documentation to make operations more visible and reliable.
