About candidate
About you
I am an engineer that is passionate about problem solving and applying my skills to the best of my ability. Outside of work, I enjoy reading books like Homegoing, The Hunger Games, and Project Hail Mary. I also have interest in repairing and refurbishing electronics. It is a fun keep busy hobby. Another thing that I enjoy is creating designs in Fusion360 to eventually gain enough experience to 3D print all kinds of things!
What are you looking for in a new role?
I am looking to expand my knowledge into a new level. Although I have experience in other fields, I feel that it would be beneficial to expand what I already know in pursuit of creating a better educational base. Not only will this benefit me but the company as well. A team works better when each individual can ring new ideas to the table.
What you are interested in working with us?
I'll get to work with a team that thrives on curiosity and collaboration building solutions in the automation industry. I'll be able to learn from many different engineers developers and innovator to complete the many goals. All with a commitment to doing phenomenal work. The projects will touch industries worldwide, curiosity is encouraged and the ability to improve past successes.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
In a past role the most challenging experience is fulfilling a project to the end. You need to plan and process how a SCADA architecture will work and continue throughout the build of adapting current market conditions as well as technical errors involved with the Energy Management System. Once the build is ready for cutover you have to anticipate what could go wrong and create solutions just in case which can be strenuous. Aside from that you need to be quick when these go wrong due to the fact that the system you created is affecting many power stations and livelihoods. Credibility and respect can be damaged if you are not prepared to fulfill this project to the end.
