My experience with electrical systems spans from aircraft avionics and diagnostics to industrial PLC controls, variable frequency drives, and servo-actuated automation. Whether reading a wiring diagram or suiting up for arc flash PPE, I’ve worked with high- and low-voltage equipment in mission-critical environments where precision and safety are paramount.
In both rotary and fixed-wing platforms—including the MQ-1, MQ-9, and CH-47—I’ve maintained and repaired:
12V, 24V, and 28V DC systems for flight and utility power
Avionics wiring harnesses, comms systems, and mission packages
Electrical components for flight control surfaces, lighting, and fuel systems
Servo-actuated systems including gimbal turrets, payload arms, and control surfaces
Launch/recovery electrical support systems on UAV operations
Diagnostic troubleshooting via built-in test equipment (BITE) and multimeter probes
While at Cisco Air Systems and Wipotec USA, I worked with three-phase and high-voltage systems commonly found in industrial settings. Tasks included:
Installing and maintaining motor control cabinets, sensors, and servo drives
Diagnosing issues in variable frequency drives (VFDs) and servo motor feedback systems
Replacing and wiring relay logic, contactors, and solenoid valves
Troubleshooting control loops and servo-actuated conveyor/sorting arms
Using lockout/tagout procedures and arc-rated PPE in accordance with OSHA guidelines
From basic ladder logic to troubleshooting signal interruptions, I’ve supported programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and automated systems, including:
Reading and interpreting schematics, electrical prints, and I/O diagrams
Supporting sensor-actuated pneumatic and servo systems
Working with servo tuning parameters and feedback loop diagnostics
Field documentation for electrical anomalies and root cause assessment
I’ve used everything from multimeters and megohm testers to arc flash suits and heat guns in the field. I’m also trained in:
OSHA 10 electrical safety, including energized panel access and PPE usage
Basic soldering, wiring, and crimping for aircraft-grade terminals
Electrical bonding, continuity checks, and voltage drop diagnostics
Grounding procedures for both aviation and industrial equipment
Whether I’m splicing a wire at a wind-whipped airfield or helping wire a motor control center in a factory, my goal is always the same: deliver safe, reliable, and efficient electrical performance.
