I am a 30-year-old male residing in Southeastern Pennsylvania.  I work in the manufacturing sector, as a Senior Controls Engineer.  My role is to ensure OEM equipment is designed, built, and meets company specifications as well as driving the adoption of automated solutions in all departments of the organization, at all levels.  I travel often to manufacturing sites across the Midwest, United States.  The production floor of a lead-acid battery manufacturing site is not the most hospitable environment.  As such, I have been trained in the selection and use of personal protective equipment.  Below is a picture of me wearing my PPE while commissioning new automated equipment in a manufacturing facility.  

My future goals are to obtain a degree in Computer Engineering with a concentration in Data Analytics.  This knowledge will help me design supervisory control and data acquisition functions for manufacturing facilities in my industry.  The concentration in data analytics will allow me to build custom machine vision solutions and leverage predictive modules to aid in decision-making processes.
