Building Intelligent Automation Systems for Industry
Professional Summary
I'm an Automation Software Engineer at JAG Process Solutions, specialising in industrial automation for the pharmaceutical industry. With hands-on experience across PLC/SCADA systems, embedded development, robotics & automation, IoT deployments, and automotive validation, I deliver solutions that meet rigorous Australian and international engineering standards including cGMP and GxP.
My journey spans from developing clinical medical devices compliant with IEC 60601 standards to deploying industrial IoT systems, validating vehicles against ADR and EURO emissions regulations, and implementing process automation with Siemens PLC and SCADA platforms. I thrive in multidisciplinary environments where mechanical, electrical, and software engineering converge.
