Summary

Accomplished Instrumentation Engineer with extensive experience in the industrial and automation sector. Currently, as part of the Experion PKS Technical Support team, I handle Experion DCS and subsystem customer-related technical issues on a global scale. My team is responsible for addressing escalated concerns from Experion DCS and Honeywell Process Solution site engineers, providing solutions for Controller, Server, Migration, and Networking issues. Additionally, we conduct Industrial Network Audits for Oil, Gas, Chemical, and Pharma Industries.

Prior to this role, I served as an Advance Application Engineer & Senior Engineer in Experion PKS DCS at Honeywell, where I demonstrated strong abilities in engineering, commissioning, DCS, PLC, HMI systems, and field devices-based process industrial knowledge.

My proven track record includes optimizing plant operations, ensuring the reliability of critical systems through software industrial testing, and delivering effective technical support to resolve complex challenges. With expertise in Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, as well as proficiency in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and field instrument calibration, I offer a holistic approach to industrial automation and control. Strong capabilities in design and documentation, including P&I Diagrams, BOM creation, control philosophy development, and ISO datasheet report generation, further enhance my qualifications.

I am now seeking a challenging leadership role in a progressive organization where I can leverage my extensive experience in automation, software, and networking to drive innovation and growth.
