I joined Joby in January 2023 as an automation controls engineer on the Composites Manufacturing team. In my time here I've played a key role in modernizing existing controls systems and automating processes with the goal of assisting manufacturing technicians on the plant floor.

• Played a key role in modernizing control systems and automating manufacturing processes to assist technicians.
• Enabled data integration from plant floor to server databases via Ignition, facilitating the analysis of important machine operations.
• Developed Ignition dashboards for real-time monitoring of sensors and equipment.
• Created FastAPI endpoints to efficiently retrieve machine data from a database using Python and SQL, streamlining the analysis of cures from an autoclave.
• Implemented and configured data collection hardware that enabled transmission of sensor data to the Ignition SCADA server for centralized monitoring.
• Managed a docker web application using iterative design and version control software for testing and production environments.

After college, I joined VC Automation, a company that specializes in automation solutions for manufacturing processes on the West Coast. I led the controls system programming for key projects, significantly reducing cost but also achieving productivity gains and enhanced safety on the manufacturing floor. I also managed data acquisition for machines through a variety of communication protocols, facilitating the display of important machine metrics on human-machine interfaces.

• Developed a Python-based interface for FANUC robots, used to create robot programs and receive data from robotic cells.
• Managed data acquisition for machines through various communication protocols, displaying machine metrics on human-machine interfaces.
• Led controls system programming for key projects, reducing costs and increasing productivity and safety.
• Installed data collection hardware to transmit sensor data to SCADA servers for centralized monitoring.
• Administered and maintained Git repositories, ensuring efficient version control and collaboration across the development team.
• Trained replacement to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of project workflows.
