Provided onsite technical 24/7 production support for real time and batch inter-bank payment systems, playing a key anchor role for stabilizing bank operations. Optimized transaction processing algorithms in order to achieve required system throughput.

AMI-GE AUTOMATION AND CONTROL, Monterrey, México (October 2007 – July 2009)

Automation Engineer

Project: Ternium-Hylsa (1.5 years)

Programmed C/C++ automation software and HMIs for Real Time OS QNX running on embedded controllers at metal processing production lines, using QNX’s multithreading, interruptions, semaphores, and memory management.

Designed a digital filtering algorithm for processing metal milling speed data, in order to optimize the graphic rendering of the process.

Technology/Languages: C/C++ and shell scripting on QNX, SCADA systems (Cimplicity, iVision). MySQL, MSSQL databases.

Project: Statistical Tools R&D (6 months)

Programmed a MATLAB tool for analyzing and finding optimal sampling frequencies in the control of electric arch furnaces.

Developed a real-time statistical-analysis system for industrial metal mills (data gathering and derivation of statistical information based on the output thickness of running metal). The system was designed for providing insight on the impacts of modifying different milling parameters.

Designed a web application for visualization of the results, used for fine-tuning of the milling process.

Technology/Languages: MATLAB, C/C++, C#, VB, JSP, MSSQL, Windows Services.
