About

I Enjoy learning and expanding my knowledge everyday in Industrial applications. I am a very ambitious person and enjoy academics.
I have experienced vast knowledge in All Diverse Control Systems and Safety Interlock Systems including Honeywell and others. Competent in Analog signals and digital signals. MY intresest are transmitters, valves, limit switches, and Solenoid. Brands include Rose-mount Honeywell Siemens Vegas Thomas and Bettis ABB or Fisher The list goes on. All instruments are amazing weather it is a primary element or final element. I hope to raise the quality of the all the equipment is my goal. After Obtaining my Industrial degree i can apply skills to the team. What operations sees will be accurate without a doubt. I will personally track all validation paperwork and submit those readings digitally in the system. I have participated with many commissioning projects this includes SIS validation and emergency trips. projects and maintenance-based compliance check experience. I have completed tens of thousands of loops all different types. following all procedures and safety guidelines is imperative in this career. Safety will never be compromised and all Reports will be submitted daily. Many Industrial applications and situations in this career . I understand all P&IDs and loop drawings I have work side by side with some of the best engineers in the business. Whether it be a basic DCS loop or triconex system we will follow procedures and trip all components in that control loop. Proving the safety of operations is functional to the guidelines. If the system fails weather, it is a logic issue, a wiring issue, or replacing a piece of equipment I make sure that the loop is fixed and passed. I have been the guy in the field pushing buttons and pumping transmitters simultaneously while emergency valves fail open or closed. I have also been the guy on the board forcing trips and verifying graphics and alarms are correct. Proper documentation and tracking accordingly. Sometimes deadlines become short or certain problems come up where I will step in to fix a problematic situation. I will always support the team in certain situations. I will always try to gain the most information to perform my duties. I will communicate with maintenance and operations on the status of instrumentation equipment daily.
Weather it is a live unit or unit coming down all instrument’s needs will be met according. This includes new projects big or small I understand all phase of instrumentation operations and electrical. I understand all equipment hardware and software associated with the control process. I will participate with engineers to help create ways to improve the quality of systems for the facility. Change instruments as needed if cannot be fixed. All instrumentation goals will be met according and handled properly.
I am Very passionate about instrumentation and enjoy this career field very much.
