Plant PLC systems (Allen-Bradley, Modicon, AVEVA), batch automation, instrumentation, and validation — for pharma and biotech plant systems.
Also builds embedded IoT proofs — e.g. ESP32 monitoring.
View Projects View Resume Get in touchPrincipal automation and controls leader for regulated plant systems, modernizing and validating PLC/SCADA/batch environments across pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing. Builds standards, runs FAT/SFAT, and leads cross-functional delivery that cuts commissioning risk and strengthens multi-site consistency (Allen-Bradley, Modicon, AVEVA, Ignition, and related platforms). Additional experience includes energy/biogas multi-site automation programs and hands-on packaging/robotics plant support. Work spans Genentech, Lonza, Haskell, and InflexionPoint (including multi-site BioGas automation for South Jersey Industries). Embedded builds (ESP32, robotics experiments) stay craft proofs — not the hire target.
Lonza — OFS / AVEVA resiliency validation. Modicon M580 ↔ Schneider OFS/OPC ↔ AVEVA Application Server / Batch: failure-mode and infrastructure testing that proved recovery with batch continuity — not HMI display alone.
