I specialize in industrial control systems focusing primarily on SCADA and PLC software and enjoy leveraging my passion for programming to create innovative solutions to business problems. I&#8217;m a life-long learner who is constantly expanding my library on topics ranging from science and technology to philosophy and history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, I decided to attend university to pursue an education commensurate with my experience. I am attending Old Dominion University majoring in cybersecurity because my continued work in critical infrastructure requires a well rounded outlook on technology that integrates security at all levels. I look forward to using my education and experiences to become a competent leader in industrial automation, to create resilient; safe; and secure systems, and to improve the operations experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love elegantly applying technology in the industrial and nuclear setting to improve the operations experience.
