What I'm looking for

I seek automation roles focusing on PLC/SCADA development and commissioning within collaborative teams, opportunities to lead projects, and environments that value hands-on systems integration and continuous learning.

I am an Electrical Engineer specializing in PLC and SCADA programming with hands-on experience commissioning heavy industrial machines and VFD drives. I focus on Siemens TIA Portal, WinCC, and related industrial automation tools.

In my current role at National Projects Management in Abu Dhabi I program and commission bucket wheel excavators, spreaders and conveyor lines, and maintain Siemens S7-1500 PLCs and S120/G120 drives. I also contributed to AMI Smart Metering and DU-FN projects where I led gateway installation and commissioning teams.

Previously I developed automation projects including an automated traffic signal and a batch reactor control system using Siemens PLC 1200/1500 series, WinCC, KEPServerEX, and Wonderware InTouch, and I have experience with fusion splicing and field cable work. I have worked as a team lead on project deliveries and quality assurance for installations.

I am results-driven, a rapid learner, and committed to delivering reliable, maintainable control systems. I hold a BSc in Electrical Engineering and certifications in Industrial Automation (PLC/HMI/SCADA).
