Career Journey

Professional Experience

My professional background combines industrial software work, controls-adjacent systems, machine communication, diagnostics, and backend engineering. Across both roles, I worked on systems where reliability, observability, real-time behaviour, and structured problem solving were important.

Mar 2025 – Nov 2025
Leamington Spa, United Kingdom
Software Automation Engineer
Samurai Machine Tools

Worked in an industrial systems environment developing software for PLC-controlled CNC machinery, HMI/SCADA-style interfaces, and real-time machine communication. The role focused on control-system integration, machine visualisation, diagnostics, fault monitoring, and operator-facing applications that supported reliable machine operation.

  • Developed HMI/SCADA interfaces using Unity for real-time visualisation of machine states, alarms, and process variables from PLC-controlled systems.
  • Optimised OPC UA communication for large industrial data transfers, reducing 100MB transfer time from around 2 minutes to about 35 seconds and improving real-time responsiveness.
  • Integrated PLC-controlled workflows with EtherCAT drives, industrial I/O systems, and fieldbus-connected machinery including Profinet and Ethernet/IP.
  • Implemented fault monitoring and alarm handling to improve machine diagnostics and reduce downtime during operations.
  • Produced technical documentation for communication flows, telemetry handling, and control-system integration, while supporting servo motor control, homing, jogging, and motion sequencing through operator-facing interfaces.
