Key Projects

• Las Vegas International Airport (2024–Present): Leading a 5-member team; upgraded RFID readers, converted serial PLC communications to Ethernet, retuned system logic, retuned diverter/merging in the conveyor system, and configured Stratix 5200 switches. Used Emulator 3D for FAT, updated alarms via SQL Server, and led TRR, ISAT testing, and commissioning.
• Charlotte, NC (2024): Wrote PLC logic in RSLogix 5000, validated HMI integration, and led full system integration for a new baggage line. Supported ISAT and programmed Nord drive VFDs.
• Anchorage, AK (2023): Led critical on-site troubleshooting and system restoration under time sensitive conditions, as well as fixed old, previous problems with the system.
• Tulsa, OK (2022): Reprogrammed legacy control systems on RSlogix 500 for updated operational requirements. following the new PGDS.
• Medford RFID Upgrade (2023): Upgraded baggage handling system tag reader to improve read rate, traceability and throughput.
• Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (2019–2022): Engineered PLC logic for outbound/inbound baggage handling; developed HMI graphics, configured DLR networks, and PowerFlex 525 VFDs. Supported TRR and SAT field testing.

• Designed custom mechanical components for CNC fabrication using Autodesk Inventor
• Generated technical drawings and part specifications; collaborated with machinists for production
• Upgraded CNC machines with new components to meet evolving fabrication requirements

• Built electrical control panels, configured HMI screens, and performed electric simulations
• Assisted with PLC testing and panel verification prior to deployment
