I'm a hands-on Industrial Automation Specialist based in Santa Tecla, El Salvador, with over three years of experience designing, programming, and implementing control systems for industrial environments. I enjoy turning complex challenges into robust, scalable solutions using Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Schneider Electric platforms, and I love collaborating with cross-functional teams to keep projects on track. When I'm not on the plant floor, I keep sharpening my skills in PLC migration, HMI/SCADA development, and electrical diagram design, and I enjoy mentoring operators and technicians.
