Summary
Results-driven Automation Specialist with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from East Carolina University. Currently at Novo Nordisk, I specialize in design, specification, implementation, and troubleshooting of PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), MES (Manufacturing Execution System), and PMS (Particulate Monitoring System). I have successfully collaborated on various enhancement projects that improved production line efficiency and have personally reduced downtime by 33% during my shifts since joining Novo Nordisk. Proficient in version control and eTIMS, I utilize my technical skills to streamline processes and support operational excellence. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive improvements and enhance the quality of life through collaboration and innovative solutions.
