Industrial automation, engineered for regulated environments
Capability-driven consulting for manufacturing operations — SCADA, IIoT, PLC, and compliance systems delivered from architecture through commissioning. Validated where it needs to be, pragmatic everywhere else.
01 · What I deliver
Core capabilities
01
SCADA & HMI
High-performance operator interfaces and supervisory systems — Ignition, Wonderware, FactoryTalk View, WinCC — built for situational awareness and alarm management in 24/7 production.
02
IIoT & Edge Architecture
Edge-to-cloud data infrastructure: MQTT / Sparkplug B, OPC UA, Node-RED, and a Unified Namespace. Historian integration, real-time analytics pipelines, and secure remote access for distributed assets.
03
PLC & Controls
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix / CompactLogix, Siemens S7 / TIA Portal, Schneider Modicon, Beckhoff TwinCAT. Structured text, ladder, and SFC with modular code that passes GAMP5 validation scrutiny.
04
Compliance & Regulatory
Two regulatory worlds: FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records and GAMP5 validation for life sciences, and NERC/CIP critical-infrastructure controls for the grid. Audit-trail design, validated lifecycle documentation, CSIA and ISA-95/88 models.
02 · Domain depth
Industries served
Current Focus
Life Sciences & Pharma
Validated SCADA and PLC systems for FDA-regulated manufacturing — full lifecycle from URS/FDS through IQ/OQ/PQ. GMP process controls, Part 11 electronic records, and data-integrity architecture for pharma and biotech.

04 · How projects run
Engagement model
01 · Assess
Site audit, system inventory, and gap analysis against regulatory and operational requirements. A risk-ranked remediation roadmap you can act on.
02 · Architect
Network topology, data models, alarm philosophy, and security zoning. Detailed FDS/SDS aligned to your URS — the design decisions made explicit before code is written.
03 · Build & Validate
PLC code, SCADA screens, historian tags, and IIoT pipelines. Factory acceptance testing, IQ/OQ/PQ execution, traceability matrix, and handover to operations.
Available for project-based engagements, technical advisory, and fractional automation consulting.
