Allen Brealey Programer

With over 3 years of hands-on experience in industrial automation and software integration, I bring a unique blend of electrical engineering expertise and modern programming proficiency. My career has spanned both on-site industrial projects and remote software development for automation dashboards, giving me a 360-degree perspective of automation system design, deployment, and data-driven performance monitoring.
I specialize in PLC programming (Allen-Bradley, Siemens), HMI/SCADA development (FactoryTalk View, FT Optix, Mitsubishi ICONICS), and data logging systems using SQL Server and .NET technologies. My foundation in ladder logic, structured text, and control system troubleshooting allows me to diagnose issues quickly and design optimized control strategies tailored to client requirements.
A core strength of mine is integrating shop-floor automation with modern IT systems. I have successfully delivered applications using Visual Studio (WPF, Blazor, .NET MAUI) that pull real-time production data from PLCs and SQL databases and present it in intuitive dashboards with PDF/Excel report generation capabilities. These applications help plant managers and operators make informed decisions with confidence.
Beyond traditional automation, I’ve worked on IoT-style applications that communicate with sensors over MQTT/TCP/IP, and have developed mobile-friendly web apps using Blazor Server that run seamlessly on tablets and desktops. My knowledge of OPC UA and Ethernet/IP communication protocols ensures reliable interfacing between various devices and systems.
Here are a few key highlights of my work:

• Developed a CIP Dashboard (Clean-In-Place) using Blazor and SQL Server, which provides real-time tracking of cleaning steps, flow rates, and compliance metrics.
• Designed an FT Optix project for a dairy process, complete with print functionality to a WiFi-connected industrial printer via scripting.
• Created a mobile-friendly expense tracker app using .NET MAUI and SQLite, integrating secure login and sync-ready architecture for future cloud connectivity.
• Built an RDLC report generation system for automated data exports from SCADA logs to regulatory-compliant Excel/PDF files.

Soft skills are equally important to me. I believe in clear communication, understanding client goals, and delivering on time. I document all my work and provide post-deployment support so that clients feel confident long after project completion.
Whether you're a manufacturing company looking to modernize operations or a startup exploring automation ideas, I’m committed to delivering scalable, secure, and user-friendly solutions. Let’s discuss how I can contribute to your success.
