Professional Journey

My Experience

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

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. Technologies included C#, ASP.NET Core, OPC UA, CODESYS, WebSockets, Azure, and industrial automation systems.

  • 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.
Feb 2021 – Apr 2023
Software Engineer
Cognizant Technology Solutions, Bangalore, India

Worked on backend services within distributed systems handling large-scale, real-time data processing with a strong focus on reliability, monitoring, and system performance. The role involved building and maintaining high-availability services, improving observability, and supporting transactional workflows in enterprise software environments. Technologies included C#, ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, Azure Service Bus, and ELK Stack.

  • Developed backend services within distributed systems for large-scale, real-time data processing.
  • Engineered high-availability services supporting real-time transactional workflows with a focus on reliability and system performance.
  • Worked within Agile development practices and SDLC processes to deliver and maintain distributed backend services.
  • Improved observability and debugging workflows using the ELK stack, enabling faster performance analysis and issue resolution.
