02 — Freelance consulting
Certified project management and agile practice alongside the technical work, so engagements stay scoped, coordinated and on schedule.
A defined scope delivered end to end — specification, software, documentation and handover — at a fixed price or on a milestone basis.
Independent review of control software, architecture, instrumentation choices or documentation before a project moves to its next gate.

05 — Approach
Understand the process, the stakeholders and the constraints. Agree deliverables, interfaces and acceptance criteria.
Control philosophy, I/O lists, instrumentation selection and electrical design, reviewed with your team.
PLC and SCADA development in short iterations, verified in simulation before any hardware is at risk.
On-site start-up, FAT/SAT sign-off and complete documentation so your team can own the system.
06 — About
An automation engineer with 16+ years in industrial control systems: PLC programming, instrumentation for hazardous-area applications, control cabinet design and test-rig engineering, with a large share of that work in marine equipment.
Much of the job is coordination — between controls, electrical, documentation and development teams. APAS Tech brings both sides: the hands-on engineering and the project discipline to land it.
