Summary
I am an Electronics Engineer with excellent skills in PCB and control panel circuit design. My most valuable skill is designing hardware and writing firmware programs directly in assembly language and C versions. I also have vast experience in writing PLC code from scratch. I can create online systems using SQL databases and Java, C++ PHP or Python web pages. I am competent to design small or large scale control and monitoring systems using the latest technology.
