Software Developer and Control Systems Engineer with 15+ years experience within the Oil and Gas, Steel, Mining and Manufacturing Industries. Tertiary qualified as an electrical engineer with a broad skill set across PLC and DCS platforms, IoT, OT and electrical systems. Strong commitment to safety and customer satisfaction throughout all project execution phases.

This is my personal blog to showcase what I have been working on.

I have been on the Project Management Committee for the Apache PLC4X project for the past two years or so. This project has given me the ability to get to know the intricacies of a lot of industrial PLC protocols such as PROFINET, OPC UA, MODBUS and Ethernet/IP, as well as integrate them into OPC-UA servers and Kafka nodes.

I am also interested in integrating streaming platforms, Kafka, MQTT, etc... with SCADA systems to be able to provide advanced solutions within the preventative maintenance, reporting and distributed computing spaces.

I'm always looking for new reasons to grow my skillset. If you have any questions or opportunities please feel free to reach out.
