About Me

Hello, Welcome to my portfolio! I am a multidisciplinary engineer currently working as automation engineer at Wellness USA, Minneapolis.
I have earned double masters in electrical engineering and computer science. I am passionate about automation through coding and PLC/Raspberry Pi.

Over the last 8 years, I lived in Europe for nearly 5 years as a graduate student in Germany, learned and practiced a lot on automation through professional and personal projects ; recently graduated with masters degree in computer science.

Automation and Controls :

Actively working in my current role as an automation engineer programming in Python and Structured Text (ST) for developing control logic and Human Machine Interface (HMI) using Javascript/react and CODESYS. Currently working on automation project controlling devices (pumps, lights) using protocols (Modbus TCP/IP, EtherCAT).

Data Engineering :

My work heavily relies on handling data in automated manner. So I do a lot of automated data engineering on daily basis using Python, AWS S3, MQTT, Pandas, PowerBI. I also do automate environment setup and configurations using docker and bash/ymal/makefile scripts to make reproducible and scalable solutions.

I am eager to learn and grow in the field of automation and data engineering. Feel free to explore my projects on my website as well as connect with me on LinkedIn.
