Designed and implemented a scalable PLC software architecture for a large-scale hospital (10,000 beds) infrastructure project using Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 and Codesys. I developed modular control logic and state-machine-based structures to support diverse system configurations across thousands of rooms.

I engineered a classification system that mapped 8,000 room configurations into 1,000 reusable control software typologies, significantly reducing engineering effort and enabling rapid deployment. I also built automated documentation pipelines using SQL and VBA to generate FDS, improving consistency and traceability.

Additionally, I integrated real-time data acquisition systems using Modbus and OPC UA, enabling reliable telemetry, diagnostics, and system monitoring. I developed validation and diagnostic tools to detect configuration inconsistencies prior to deployment, enhancing system reliability and reducing commissioning issues.

Conducted advanced AFM nanoindentation experiments to investigate the mechanical behavior of collagen fibrils under controlled biochemical conditions. I performed measurements in liquid environments (PBS) to replicate physiological conditions and analyzed force–distance curves using MATLAB.

Additionally, I designed reproducible experimental protocols by implementing controlled measurement positioning and standardized sampling strategies, ensuring consistent testing across long-term experiments. I investigated the effects of glycation, enzymatic degradation, and thermal variation on the mechanics of the extracellular matrix (ECM).

I monitored and controlled environmental parameters, including pH, temperature, and incubation timing, to maintain traceable experimental conditions. I developed data validation strategies to identify measurement artifacts and ensure data integrity. I also iteratively refined laboratory protocols to improve repeatability, aligning with structured and regulated laboratory practices relevant to biomedical and pharmaceutical environments.

Designed and delivered HVAC systems for residential and commercial buildings, including villas and multi-unit developments. I performed thermal load calculations, system sizing, and ventilation design to ensure optimal performance based on environmental conditions and building requirements.

I managed on-site installation activities, coordinating teams and supervising ducting, piping, and system integration. I introduced pre-insulated duct systems to improve installation efficiency and thermal performance.

I also oversaw system commissioning and troubleshooting, identifying performance issues and implementing corrective actions to enhance system reliability. I prepared technical proposals and cost estimates, aligning engineering solutions with client requirements and project constraints.
