Industrial Experience

Experience in live industrial automation systems

Software Automation Engineer

Samurai Machine Tools

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

  • Developed HMI/SCADA interfaces for real-time machine monitoring, alarms, and process visualisation.
  • Optimised OPC UA communication for industrial data transfer, improving real-time responsiveness.
  • Worked with PLC-controlled workflows, EtherCAT drives, industrial I/O systems, and fieldbus-connected machinery.
  • Implemented fault monitoring and alarm handling to improve diagnostics and reduce downtime.
  • Produced technical documentation for communication flows, telemetry handling, and control-system integration.
  • Supported servo motor control, homing, jogging, and motion sequencing through operator-facing interfaces.

Additional Work

Broader technical and creative projects

Technical Projects

Alongside my industrial automation work, I have also built software, simulation, and interactive development projects that reflect strong problem solving, system design, and end-to-end implementation. These projects show broader technical depth while remaining secondary to my core focus on automation, controls, and industrial systems.

Creative Work

I also maintain a separate gallery of artwork and visual work. This section reflects creativity and design interest, while my professional portfolio is centred on industrial automation, control systems, and technical engineering roles.

Open to Opportunities

Looking for opportunities in automation, controls, and technical software

I am interested in roles where I can contribute to industrial automation, controls engineering, software integration, simulation-led engineering workflows, and technical problem solving. I am actively building my portfolio around relevant engineering projects and am open to opportunities across the UK.
