What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead industrial automation and panel design projects, improve processes, mentor teams, and deliver compliant, scalable solutions.

I am an electrical designer with over 8 years of experience in industrial automation, project development, and team leadership. I specialize in low- and medium-voltage panel design, using Eplan Electric P8, Eplan ProPanel and SolidWorks to deliver compliant, production-ready documentation.

At ABB and prior employers I led the creation and standardization of electrical design departments, managed multidisciplinary teams, and drove implementations for major clients across industry sectors. I have hands-on experience with drives (frequency, 12-pulse, regenerative, multidrive), soft starters, and automation toolchains including Rockwell and Siemens platforms.

I prioritize quality, regulatory compliance (NR10, NR12, NBR, IEC), and continuous improvement in design processes. I am results-focused, experienced in client-facing commercial activities, and committed to delivering timely, cost-controlled projects that scale across industrial environments.
