Summary

As a recent graduate of the Instrumentation & Control Engineering Technology program at Red River College, I am eager to contribute my skills and expertise to a forward-thinking organization. My hands-on experience includes working with a variety of PLC platforms, such as Allen Bradley, Rockwell, Schneider, and Beckhoff, and I possess a solid understanding of DCS systems developed through academic projects and a co-op placement with the Natural Gas Maintenance and Technology Department.

Complementing my technical education is a strong foundation in mechanical systems, which enables me to approach challenges with a comprehensive and analytical perspective. I am highly motivated to develop innovative industrial solutions while enhancing my knowledge through real-world applications and professional growth. I thrive in dynamic environments and am ready to take on projects that require creativity, precision, and a commitment to excellence.
