Certifications and formal training are not just badges. In industrial automation and OT integration they prove that I understand safety standards, vendor technologies, and current best practices – and that I can apply them reliably on your factory floor.

On this page you will find an overview of my formal education, technical certifications, and continuous learning activities that support the services I provide.

My path into industrial automation is grounded in a solid technical education focused on electronics, control systems, and programming.

  • Technical diploma in electronics and industrial automation – strong foundation in circuits, sensors, actuators, PLC basics, and industrial safety.
  • Extended vocational training in PLC programming and control engineering, including hands-on labs with real hardware and industrial panels.
  • Supplementary coursework in computer networks and industrial communication, preparing for OT/IT integration work.

This combination of theory and practical lab work makes it easier to diagnose issues on the shop floor and design solutions that are both robust and realistic.
