I build, wire, maintain, and commission automated industrial production systems.

I've supported REHAU Industries' production operations by assembling and installing online laminating systems, wiring control cabinets, and modifying extrusion machinery and production equipment.

My work spans preventive and corrective maintenance, troubleshooting, on-call technical support, and commissioning new systems. I'm completing state-certified technician training in electrical engineering, with hands-on focus on Siemens TIA Portal PLC programming, HMI integration, PROFINET, OPC UA, SEW drives, KUKA robotics, and automated systems.
