3 Automation Projects

  • Cooling tower

    - The goal of this project was to make electrical commands for a cooling tower and pumps that are recirculating water.
    - I designed the electrical cabinet and decided to use Siemens S300 PLC to make the system work in automatic/ manual mode, also I used a MicroMaster drive for starting the fan's motor. For automatic mode I used pressure sensors.

  • High pressure pumps

    - The goal of this project was to make an automatic descaling of the bars in the production line.
    - I programmed a Siemens S300 PLC and a HMI panel to show different states of electrovalves, temperature sensors and pumps. I used Step 7 to program the PLC and WinccFlexible to program the HMI panel.

  • Turning and guiding machine

    - The goal of this project was to make electrical commands for a twisting machine in the production line, also for hydraulic central.
    - I designed the electrical cabinet and used a Siemens S300 PLC. I made the central to work in automatic mode in a given range of pressure, also I made the heating and cooling of the oil in autmatic mode in a given range of temperatures. I made the command in local/ remote mode.

2 Programming Projects

  • FrontEnd: Memory game

    - The goal of this project was to build a complete browser-based card matching game (also known as Concentration), to write code conform Udacity's code style guide.
    - I used HTML, CSS and JavaScript to make animations to cards, modal popups, leaderboard's table and game's logic.

  • FrontEnd: Portfolio

    - The goal of this project was to transform a design mockup into a functioning responsive website complete with images, text descriptions and links; and to write code conform Udacity's code style guide.
    - I used HTML and CSS to make customizations to the design and I made responsive elements on page.

Interview FAQ

  • Tell me about your first job?

    In 2010 I have been hired by Saint Gobain at Maintenance department, because their automation engineer left the company.
    In the first 3 months I have been trained on DCS automation system (Yokogawa). After one year and a half, the maintenance manager left, and the responsible engineer for the measurement and control devices became maintenance manager. I have been promoted to his place and I started to learn more about sensors (inductive, temperature, pressure, level and distance), flow meters for gas/ water, and signal converters. There was also an osmosis system controlled by Siemens S300 PLC and half of the production line controlled by Siemens S400. I had there one colleague on automation who made Siemens course, and he started to teach me about Siemens PLC.

  • Tell me about your actual job?

    In 2012 it came up an opportunity for an automation engineer with expertise in Siemens PLC at the rolling mill. I decided to take this role because I wanted to grow my expertise in Siemens PLC, because Yokogawa system it is not so well used/known as Siemens.
    After one month that I came in, they started to build a new production line for slab(plate); they also made revamping of a big area of production line for round with Siemens PLC S400. I worked closely to the automation engineer responsible for installing the new production line and revamping; he teached me more about the programs that he made.
    At the rolling mill, because of the big numbers of electrical motors, I developed my electrical skills (i learnt about drives/ inverters of motors, starting modes of AC motors, protections of motors).
    I also made up from scratch different automation systems for pumps, cooling system where I used Siemens S300 PLC and drive for motor.

  • What are your daily tasks?

    My main tasks are:
    - respond ASAP to breakdowns
    - diagnostic faults (programming error in PLC/ electrical/ sensors/ mechanical problems)
    - make improvements in the production process
    - ensure stock of spare parts

    Other task:
    - make new projects for small electrical systems
    - assist to the new installation of new machines
    - analysis of breakdown reports

  • What motivates you?

    I would like to have clear objectives, or projects to do and a career path. My objectiv is to find solutions for problems, finish projects and fulfill the objectives.

  • Why do you want to leave?

    Here I feel like I can’t develop further in my career, I can’t grow anymore. I would like to have a new challenge.

  • Tell me a little about you?

    I am a lifelong learner with problem-solving skills, passionate about programming and for this reason, I've made some courses and little projects. I am also passionate about sports, traveling and climbing up the mountains.
