I developed and implemented a climate control system for a new building in a zoo to simulate the climate of animals' original habitat. I focused on light control for nocturnal animals and special UV and IR lighting for newborn cubs. The user interface needed to be easy to understand and use by staff formerly untrained in industrial control systems.

This project involved developing an automated parking solution for a luxurious residential building. My software handled user authentication, car operation, and required security checks for the client's property and human safety.

I developed a PLC application with TwinCAT PLC for testing jet engine prototypes at the Aerospace Research Center. The project focused on high-speed data acquisition from many sensors in real time and parsing that data into a readable form after the testing. After the project's completion, I consulted on further improvements and implementing new technologies.

I was challenged to integrate legacy equipment using proprietary protocols into the existing facility management system. After extensive research and development, I presented three possible solutions to the client and successfully implemented the solution of the client's choosing.

This project involved creating a central monitoring system to measure the energy usage and efficiency of the company building. The project included solar panels, process automation, and light control to save energy.

I oversaw the retrofit and upgrade of an older TwinCAT 2 controlled station and upgraded it to TwinCAT 3. The upgrade also included the HMI and the PC/IPC hardware used on the station. After a successful launch, I was tasked to incorporate and test new hardware components.

The project focused on developing a software control solution for moving storage racks and optimizing warehouse space. It was connected to the logistics systems to allow for the correct placement of the items and eliminate time wasted searching for their location.
