Experience

Controls Engineer - GE Gas Turbine ControlsDEC 2023 - Present

Quest Global (in alliance with GE Vernova) • Bengaluru, India
  • ◆Progressed from initial service roles and simulation testing to leading complex, multi-unit plant deployments, serving as a technical go-to mentor for junior engineers on Mark VIe logic and workflows.
  • ◆Took ownership of highly complex HA Frame projects after multiple handovers, accelerating software and integration execution to complete in 4 months (traditionally a 9-12 month cycle).
  • ◆Developed custom Mark VIe control logic and provided extensive remote commissioning support, performing Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for forced outages, first-fire failures, and trips.
  • ◆Led New Product Introduction (NPI) development and validation; proactively claimed unassigned customer requirements, drove them through rigorous testing, and executed successful deployments.
  • ◆Audited baseline code and standard libraries, proactively identifying and resolving 15–20 deep-seated library defects, contributing robust enhancements back to the standard framework.
  • ◆Delivered Cimplicity HMI packages and engineering automation tools (Excel VBA, PowerShell, Scripting) that reduced configuration effort from ~2 weeks to 1-2 days.

Assistant Manager & Site EngineerAUG 2022 - DEC 2023

Cyrus Enterprises • Thrissur, India
  • ◆Supervised electrical works across residential, institutional, and organizational projects.
  • ◆Performed hands-on electrical diagnostics and resistance troubleshooting, utilizing multimeters to test complex power supply routing, changeover networks, and hardware component health.
  • ◆Installed LAN networks, mesh systems, CCTV, and smart solutions.
  • ◆Coordinated with contractors in electrical, plumbing, and interior works, managing project logistics and documentation.

Key Projects

HMI Localization & Automation Tool Suite

Developed a comprehensive multi-utility engineering suite to accelerate Cimplicity HMI localization. Built automated screen batch configurators, dictionary parsers that generate .clm translation files with automatic duplicate/blank cleanup, and a "dollar convert" visual testing utility for UI aesthetics.

Azulao I & II HA Frame Parallel Execution

Delivered Azulao I (Simple Cycle) in 4 months under zero-handover conditions, with Azulao II (Combined Cycle) currently at ~90% completion. Managed parallel execution on a shared TCW baseline handling HDAS and fast-start architecture. Resolved deep library discrepancies and successfully integrated custom customer NPI requirements.

Freeport Papua Isolated Grid & Triple-Fuel Control (Active)

Currently engineering control logic for a 6F.03 plant operating on an isolated local mining grid. Configuring triple-fuel switching (Gas, Liquid, Biodiesel), black start recovery, dead bus closure, and balancing ISOCH and droop frequency control across multiple units.

CFE Manzanillo III Combined Cycle Commissioning

Executed foundational quality and protection testing in simulation for a 7F.05 combined cycle plant. Developed the latest MM300E macro screens, contributed to standard control libraries, and supported critical NPI testing and ECS-DCS integration.
