Experienced Systems Engineer and System Administrator specializing in Operations Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) networks. Skilled in designing, managing, and securing mission-critical systems to support industrial automation and process control environments. Proven ability to bridge IT and OT networks, ensuring reliability, security, and compliance with industry standards. Key Responsibilities Systems Engineering • Designed and implemented OT/ICS network infrastructures, ensuring high availability and low latency for mission-critical operations. • Conducted network segmentation (e.g., Purdue Model) to enhance security and isolate ICS from corporate IT networks. • Configured and maintained communication protocols (Modbus, OPC, Ethernet/IP) for seamless device integration. • Integrated SCADA, PLC, DCS, and HMI systems into secure and scalable network frameworks. • Deployed and managed virtualized environments (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V) and enabled cloud-based monitoring solutions. System Administration • Installed, configured, and maintained OT servers, workstations, and industrial PCs for process control systems. • Developed role-based access control (RBAC) policies to restrict unauthorized access and comply with regulatory requirements. • Implemented backup solutions and disaster recovery plans (DRPs), ensuring rapid recovery and operational resilience. Cybersecurity • Deployed OT/ICS-specific intrusion detection and prevention systems (Nozomi Networks). Operations & Support • Diagnosed and resolved hardware, software, and network issues impacting OT/ICS systems. • Performed preventative maintenance and partnered with vendors for upgrades and repairs. Compliance & Standards • Ensured compliance with standards like ISA/IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and ISO 27001. • Managed change processes to minimize disruptions to OT/ICS

Validated multimillion dollar pharmaceutical production PLC code to ensure the proper production of highly desired prescription medications. Assessed customer IT & OT Network Architectures to develop proper network segmentation, server locations, communication protocols, security measures, and remote connectivity. Programmed and installed VFD’s, HMI’s, PLC’s, Network Equipment paired with connectivity and communication protocols, mapped networks for visibility and oversight. Listened to customer concerns, evaluated technologies needed, and delivered solutions based on customer needs, budget, and timeline.

I administer multi-million-dollar system installs to systematize production departments to slash labor costs, boost plant performance, and secure and streamline OT communications to all control equipment. I actively report to Chief Information Officer on the Bulk side of the operation and the Chief Technology Officer on the manufacturing of operations while setting a controls network to secure all the network equipment to extract data from lower-level devices through a higher network level to display production metrics. I display strong analytical qualities to vet all plants to identify significant gaps. I employ Agile program management methodologies to meet the needs of production schedules and conflicting urgencies. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 ➥ Conduit of positive energy for engineers by creating an environment empowering engineers and supporting them with addressing daily complexities; Lead Troubleshooter developing documentation and protocols for future troubleshooting; condensed time to address downtime in production from 3hr average to 15mins; lessened the number of outages from 40+ per month to less than 10, with annual cost savings of $1M+. ➥ Heightened consistency by developing a work breakdown structure for the network, reengineering the project management process, developing project charters, setting clear deliverables, and sponsorship roles. ➥ Demonstrated ingenuity to engineer and integrate automated product reject system across multiple controllers and OT network architectures with topologies and created network maps. ➥ Finalized year-long palletizing retrofit and upgraded a project to merge various production lines into 1 automated RSLogix5000-controlled system. ➥ Unified Rockwell Controller tags and Wonderware data into the Inductive Automation Ignition platform for SCADA purposes.

I leveraged my expertise to complete controls and engineering of steel fabricating. I developed a maintenance plan across 3 plants. I project-managed new equipment installs from the development of the specifications through the final installation of the equipment. I established cost reductions, budget guidelines, capital expenses, process developments, price quotes, wages, and salaries. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 ➥ Architected the maintenance program, a business case, and staffed an In-House Maintenance Team to condense maintenance costs by 75%; staffed and directed 4-member teams and created Maintenance Team. ➥ Outlined and created an electronic weldment inspection system to freely examine completed production weldments. ➥ Delivered positive customer experiences by visiting customer locations to assemble a system to enable customers to produce reliable DOD equipment. ➥ Mapped out and designed the nitrogen generation system for laser manufacturing. ➥ Maximized personal strengths to program robotic welders, fiber lasers, and create and implement preventative maintenance system.

I established preventive and predictive maintenance procedures on critical processing and packaging equipment. I synergized talents with plant teams and maintenance personnel in locating problem areas. I used the principles of Total Productive Manufacturing (TPM), including the accountability for failure and countermeasure activity defined by the plant. I supervised the completion of identified work, including the procurement of parts and planning the execution. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 ➥ Created and set multiple Kaizen projects and arranged 5S production stations to enhance manufacturing capabilities.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 ➥ Expanded professionalism by completing 6 months of training in engineering fundamentals, CNC systems, laser theory, electronics, software and hardware systems, machine tool systems, logic and control voltages, nesting software, fiber optics, automation systems, Allen Bradley PLC’s, and system debugging. ➥ Set design changes to Engineering to adjust to automated material handling systems. ➥ Improved material handling operations by submitting sketches to engineering teams.
