Qualifications:
Proficient in electrical control design and industrial electronics.
Experienced in the design of, and implementing digital and analog solutions
for system interfacing, power conditioning, and motion control,
high speed valve drivers, VFD based material handling and processing control.
Process control including pressure, temperature, ph, turbidity, flow.
Produce project specifications and design from Process engineering PI&D documentation.
Project coordination, interfacing with venders and Fabrication personnel, for project support.
Able to program and implement control strategies using, Allen Bradley, Siemens, Koyo ,and
Think & Do (PC based) Control products.

Accomplishments:
It was found that New printing presses that had been recently commissioned could not run for more that 45 minutes without jamming because of glue fouling the folder cutoff blades. Researched and identified prototype system that would provide a applied glue pattern that would skip the cutoff area of a magazine being printed, applied glue with custom solenoid driven application valves. This ended printing presses being jammed, allowing for full production, saving Thousand of dollars in labor , production, and material losses.
A printing press that was acquired in used condition ran in production for about a year, then started to randomly lose various printing functions causing thousands of dollars in lost production and wasted material. Researched and designed state of the art control system for press, this took less than 30 days to complete, including PLC programming. Installed new control system on the press over a weekend plus a Monday, to minimize loss of production. This effort saved Thousands of dollars in production and material loss.
Needed to improve shop production and fabrication efficiency. Instituted a template protocol program for the fabrication of control panels. This involved full size (1:1 scale) templates of all major componants for mounting in the control panel. This saved approximately 8hours of fabrication time per control panel.
R&D department needed a way to control experiments in their test cells, control system needed to be easily modified. Introduced a software package and trained the R&D Scientist and Process Engineers at Hydrogen Burner Technology. Enabled an intuitive approach to modifying Test cell control. This greatly increased testing efficiency and allowed better control of data collection.
