PLC Programmer June 2019 – June 2020

EZ Automation Carol Stream, IL

• Successfully programmed over 100 unique PLCs for various Original Equipment Manufacturers to perform specified tasks given a needed result.

• Wrote multiple softwares and codes using ladder logic programming and PID controls varying from conveyor belt use to as far as traffic light simulation for display on the EZ PLC guide for customers to view and utilise.

• Performed multiple simulations and tests for OEMs to ensure their equipments and systems including both HMIs and PLCs are at peak performance

.

Sales Application Engineer Intern April 2019 – June 2019 EZ Automation Carol Stream, IL

• Worked under direct supervision of the CEO and sold about 25 Industrial Automation products including various sized HMIs, PLCs, Encoders and Marquees to a number of OEMs as well as end users, part of which earned me the top sales intern of the month of May.

• Utilized mathematical operations to quickly identify which type PLC to recommend a specific client without the use of a catalog, leading to an increase in customer service efficiency.

• Collaborated with Product management providing input for product growth and improvement as well as new product development. Event Manager/ Production Engineer January 2017 – October 2017 Office of Event Services at Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, IL

• Supplied and set up of A/V technology as well as building up stage sets for various events.

• Made multiple decisions which helped determine the best course of service delivery such as location set up as well as tech wiring to our diverse group of clients on and off campus.

PROJECTS

Automatic Trash Compactor using Linear Actuators January 2019 – May 2019 Design & Calculations Chicago, IL

• Performed Mathematical Engineering Operations to determine functional requirements such as the weight and force the compactor would use as well as materials needed to manufacture the Compactor while minimising any form of risks when using the machinery.

• Utilized Autodesk inventor software and a 3D printer to design and manufacture all the necessary parts including a rack and pinion mechanism for which the compactor would be guided when in vertical motion.

• Used linear actuators to aid the movement of the compacting disk which was 5 seconds faster than the average Trash Compactor. Magnetic Levitation on Vehicles August 2018 – May 2019 Design Engineer/ Manufacturing Engineer Chicago, IL

• Collaborated with an award winning Professor in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering in designing and creating a Solid Structure using Auto desk Inventor and a laser cutter which would serve as the levitating platform made out of MDF sheets.

• Hand Coiled insulated copper wire round the cylindrical core in which current from a power supply is applied creating a large enough electro- magnetic field to counter the effects of gravity. The number of turns on the coil was carefully noted for data purposes and creation of more models.

• Successfully Manufactured a Levitating device that has proper data statistics in order to make more models and improve structure and size. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Manufacture August 2015 – December 2015 Design/ Manufacturing Cost Analyst Chicago, IL

• Contributed in Developing and designing the Lay-out of parts of the UAV taking into consideration the size, weight, the material used and also what kind of propellers used in making the airplane using Autodesk Inventor.

• Compiled an Excel sheet for cost analysis of different parts, materials, welding and riveting tools and/or services in order to find the cheapest way to build the project.
