Oscar Calix

Lead and architect industrial automation, SCADA, and OT data solutions. Design connected systems that move data from PLCs and field devices into SCADA platforms, databases, dashboards, cloud tools, and custom applications. Focused on solving complex operational problems, reducing downtime, improving visibility, and building scalable systems for industrial environments.

Expanded from system implementation into larger automation and data integration work. Designed SCADA improvements, built reusable control strategies, integrated PLC data with databases and reporting tools, and helped troubleshoot complex production and communication issues. Worked across operations, controls, and software to improve visibility and system reliability.

Built and supported industrial automation systems for PLC, HMI, and SCADA environments. Worked on control logic, operator interfaces, field device integration, troubleshooting, and commissioning support across real industrial operations. Focused on making equipment reliable, visible, and easier to operate.

Since 2020, I have worked independently on software, training, and digital solution projects for industrial and business environments. I started by providing technical training in automation concepts, then expanded into software development focused on IoT platforms, data systems, dashboards, reporting tools, and custom business applications. My work has focused on building practical software that connects data, improves visibility, simplifies workflows, and supports better decision-making. Most projects have been built around .NET, SQL Server, web applications, APIs, and modern front-end technologies.

Led electrical maintenance and troubleshooting for extrusion and plastic washing production lines. Supervised the electrical crew, coordinated preventive and corrective maintenance, trained technicians, managed spare parts needs, and supported machine reliability across daily operations. Owned the electrical scope for a $1M+ industrial project, collaborating with mechanical teams, plant management, vendors, and external contractors to execute upgrades, services, installations, and commissioning activities.

This role was the foundation of my career in industrial automation. I started hands-on building control panels, wiring electrical systems, and supporting machine installations, then grew into PLC programming, HMI development, instrumentation, motor control, VFDs, and SCADA projects. I worked mainly with Siemens automation products and became a technical point of contact for troubleshooting machine problems, supporting production systems, and helping companies restore or improve their equipment. I coordinated with maintenance departments, worked with field devices and industrial networks, and delivered practical control system solutions in real production environments.
