I am a "from scratch" Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC programmer and systems integrator specializing in rescuing troubled projects. If you are behind schedule, or having issues with a FAT, commissioning, or startup, contact me. Often, I discover key programming, system architecture, or network issues within hours. When necessary, I can travel immediately after a call. Teams/Zoom consultation is also available.
I am known for smooth startups and scalable, well-organized, well-documented programs that other programmers can follow. I am also detail-oriented and observant, often fixing subtle issues that have gone unobserved and unresolved for months or years.
If you contact me early in a project, I can provide project templates to streamline project development while decreasing cost and risk.
My education includes a BS in Computer Science, AS in Electronics, and additional courses in engineering physics and mathematics.
Examples of “Rescue” Projects Include:
• Programming and startup of the first Nigerian-owned natural gas plant - Nigeria
• Commissioning/startup of package equipment on a ConocoPhillips CNOOC FPSO - Singapore & China
• Natural gas compressor station upgrades - Texas
• Startup of a natural gas peaking plant - Massachusetts
• Startup of a combined-cycle electrical power plant - Ohio
International projects include work in Bolivia, Canada, China (offshore), Equatorial Guinea (offshore), Malaysia (offshore Borneo), Mexico (offshore), Nigeria (2 gas plants), Norway, and Singapore.
Typically, I work on plants and package equipment that use Allen-Bradley ControlLogix series PLCs and HMIs, such as:
• Inductive Automation Ignition
• WonderWare InTouch
• Wonderware Archestra
• Aveva Edge (Indusoft)
• Red Lion
• PanelView
I am proficient with:
• SQL Databases
• Microsoft Visual Studio
• InGear .NET communications drivers
• SpreadsheetGear
• AutoCAD & AutoCAD .NET integration
• Clarify
I have also created test applications with a variety of AWS and Micrsoft Azure products.
