Summary

Control & Automation Engineer with a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering (specializing in Mechatronics, Control, and Robotics) from Ben-Gurion University. Over the past 4 years, I’ve led and contributed to 50+ automation projects in the robotic parking industry — gaining deep, hands-on experience in a short time across a wide range of technologies and challenges.

Skilled in real-time PLC systems development, including low-level wiring, sensor calibration, logic programming, motion control, and full field commissioning. I work across all OSI layers: from PLC programming (CodeSys, Kinco, Berghof) and HMI design to VFD/servo tuning and industrial communication (TCP/IP, CAN, Modbus, RFID), including integration with mobile applications.

Known for solving complex I/O and wiring issues in the field, mentoring technical teams, and taking systems from blueprint to full live operation. Former Navy Chief Engineer, fast learner, and natural problem-solver — passionate about automation and always ready to build, fix, and deliver.
