  • I built SCADA systems and configured servers, networks, and equipment. • Maintained and upgraded to the SCADA systems • Performed data communication monitoring and PLC circuit troubleshooting • Set up Firewalls and security of the SCADA systems from external attacks. • Was involved in troubleshooting of equipment and software to repair and diagnose any malfunctions in the system • Performed Real-time condition monitoring of specific data parameters that indicate machine deterioration or imminent equipment failure in data dashboards. • Built Predictive Maintenance Models which helped in prevent equipment failure and reduced unplanned downtime of pumps ,motors ,blowers and compressors. • Built a Sustainable water management system which maintains the balance between the demand and supply of water in Pietermaritzburg, KZN. We forecasted water levels of reservoirs and water consumption patterns using a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) ,then optimized the water distribution using Genetic Programming (GP). • Conducted research on predictive models for river water quality monitoring. We use real-time measurements environmental conditions to help predict E. coli levels and issue notifications whenever tey are too high. • Built a pipeline leak detection system where we applied machine learning classifiers to predict leakage in water pipes using pressure and water flow data. • Built Microsoft SQL reports to show the availability of flowmeters in a water treatment plant using their SCADA data. • Did research and designed new software systems and applications. • Wrote clean scalable code.(C++,C# ,Javascript and Python) • Tested, verified and deployed software systems. • Evaluated user feedback and provided assistance with technical issues on customers' sites. • Maintained a Production Server. • Created technical documents (Functional Design Specifications).
