Freelance Automation Engineer & IT/OT Integrator
I am an independent Automation Engineer with over 6 years of hands-on experience in commissioning production lines and single-purpose machines, primarily for Tier 1 automotive suppliers (e.g., Knorr-Bremse, Magna, Webasto).
My core added value lies in bridging the gap between traditional Operational Technology (OT) and modern Information Technology (IT). I don't just program PLCs and robots to make machines move; I design the architecture to securely extract, process, and visualize manufacturing data using modern DevOps principles.
CORE COMPETENCIES & TECH STACK:
- PLC Programming & Commissioning: Siemens Simatic S7 (TIA Portal), Beckhoff (TwinCAT 3). Full-cycle commissioning from writing logic to on-site deployment.
- Electrical Competence & Troubleshooting: Certified for independent work on live installations up to 1000V (Czech NV 194/2022 Sb. §7 / European BA5 equivalent). Able to safely open panels, measure, and troubleshoot on-site.
- Robotics & Vision: Industrial robot programming (Fanuc) and vision systems integration (Keyence).
- IT/OT Integration & Industrial IoT: Python development for machine communication (OPC UA, S7comm, MQTT, TCP/IP).
- DevOps & Infrastructure: Linux server administration, application containerization (Docker) at the edge, and deployment of IoT platforms (ThingsBoard, Apache Superset, Grafana) and SQL databases.
WHY WORK WITH ME?
- Single Point of Contact: You don't need to coordinate a PLC programmer and an IT server admin. I handle the entire ecosystem—from the sensor and robot movement up to the Docker container running your data dashboard.
- On-Site Leadership: I am used to "combat conditions" during commissioning. I can coordinate with mechanics and electricians, resolve hardware collisions, and drive the project to a successful handover under tight deadlines.
- Technical English: I am completely comfortable working with English technical documentation, writing code/comments in English, and handling the essential technical communication needed on-site to get the job done.
I am currently open to new B2B contracts (remote software development / IoT design + on-site commissioning across Europe). Let's connect and discuss how I can bring reliability and data transparency to your next automation project.
