about
Engineer for systems that have to work together.
I'm a systems integration engineer with 8+ years building reliable software that connects industrial equipment, databases, operator interfaces (HMI), and higher-level business systems.
My work spans the full engineering lifecycle – early design discussions, detailed engineering, in-depth system testing, and month-long on-site commissioning at customer sites. I enjoy solving problems across the whole stack, from PC applications and backend services down to embedded systems and hardware-adjacent work.
I'm a technical generalist with a practical engineering mindset: comfortable inside proven frameworks, and just as happy designing a creative, reliable solution when a project calls for a new approach – especially in production environments where uptime, data integrity, and reliability are non-negotiable.
