Summary

Full-stack application developer with a B.S. in Computer Science and nearly two years building and supporting production SCADA, MES, and IIoT applications in a high-volume manufacturing plant. Works the full delivery cycle: validating requirements with operations stakeholders, writing specifications, developing in Ignition Perspective with Python/Jython and SQL, testing against documented plans on a dedicated development gateway, then commissioning, documenting, and training end users. Comfortable sitting between IT and Engineering and translating between them. Work developed at Stayton has set the integration precedent adopted across 31+ plants, with two production systems poised for rollout to 11 lines across 5 plants.
