Building reliable electrical control systems — from panel hardware to PLC logic. Currently working in Jaipur, pushing toward full-stack automation: hardware + software + SCADA.

01 — Who I Am

About

I'm an Electrical & Automation Engineer based in Jaipur, Rajasthan. I work at Engineers & Engineers (Electricals) Pvt. Ltd., where I handle panel design, component sizing, and automation engineering.

My background spans relay logic circuits, VFD panel design, MCCB/contactor selection, and control transformer specification — with hands-on work on DOL starters, Star-Delta, and APFC panel protection schemes.

On the software side, I'm actively building PLC programming skills in Siemens TIA Portal (S7-1200), practicing with Factory I/O and PLCSIM Advanced. My long-term goal is industrial automation — PLC + SCADA, system integration, and eventually high-end sectors like pharma or oil & gas.

Self-driven. 10+ months of independent study before my first role. I don't wait for someone to teach me — I build the roadmap myself.

Projects

PRJ_001
500-Task Automation Mastery Workbook
Self-designed structured workbook covering 500 progressive automation tasks — relay logic, PLC programming, VFD control, HMI, and SCADA. Built as a personal skill-building framework for becoming job-ready as a PLC programmer.
Siemens S7-1200 TIA Portal Factory I/O Self-Study
PRJ_002
ACB Control Circuit Design
Designed and implemented an ACB (Air Circuit Breaker) control circuit when challenged by a senior engineer on the job. Demonstrated deep understanding of protection interlocks and control wiring under pressure.
ACB Control Relay Logic Interlock Design Control Wiring
PRJ_003
Relay Logic Circuit Series (Tasks 1–30+)
Systematic practice and documentation of 30+ relay logic circuits: DOL, Forward-Reverse, Star-Delta, Fault Annunciator, Auto Forward-Reverse, and more. Simulated and verified each circuit individually.
DOL Starter Star-Delta Fault Annunciator Auto F/R
PRJ_004
24V PSU with NTC Thermistor Soft-Start
Designed a 24V bench power supply with NTC thermistor-based inrush current limiting and an active soft-start circuit. Focused on protection, thermal behavior, and practical PCB-level implementation.
