Eduardo V.

Automation Engineer | Connecting PLCs to Cloud & IIoT Systems (MQTT)

Bridging the gap between reliable industrial machinery and modern data infrastructure. I am a Senior Automation Engineer with a background in Mechanical Engineering. My focus is on delivering complete, end-to-end solutions—from the logic running on the factory floor to the dashboard in the cloud. I believe that successful automation isn't just about writing code; it's about understanding the physical process, respecting the hardware, and building systems that are safe and easy for your team to maintain long-term. 🤝 How I Can Help Your Team Holistic Approach: I combine traditional PLC reliability with modern software practices. Whether it's commissioning a new machine or building a data pipeline, I look at the whole picture. Collaboration First: I work well with on-site technicians and IT departments alike. I document everything clearly so you maintain full ownership of your systems. Reliability: My goal is to build systems that run quietly in the background, minimizing downtime and support calls. 🛠️ Core Services 1. PLC & HMI Programming Platforms: Siemens (TIA Portal), Mitsubishi (GX Works), Allen-Bradley, and WAGO. Logic: Structured, well-commented code following IEC 61131-3 standards. Interfaces: Designing intuitive, user-friendly HMIs (Weintek, Siemens, FactoryTalk) that simplify operations for plant staff. 2. IIoT & Data Integration Connectivity: Integrating industrial assets with the Cloud (AWS, Azure) using MQTT, Sparkplug B, and Modbus. Gateways: Configuring robust Edge Gateways (Raspberry Pi, OnLogic, Arduino Opta) to buffer and secure your data. Visualization: Creating clear, actionable dashboards using platforms like Ignition, ThingsBoard, or FUXA. 🏆 Proven Experience Hybrid Control System: Architected a concrete curing controller that has operated 24/7 for over 18 months, ensuring continuous production even during internet outages. Data Center Modernization: Developed a Python-based Gateway to integrate legacy power units with a modern SCADA system, improving data visibility and response times. Safety & Retrofit: Successfully updated legacy machinery logic to meet modern safety standards, working closely with the client to minimize production impact. Ready to start?
