The "Machine Whisperer" at ENLYZE. Bridging the gap between isolated technology found in today's manufacturing industry and the modern ENLYZE data intelligence platform. • Reverse-engineering proprietary PLC systems found in the industrial manufacturing space to aggregate live process data, giving us a competitive edge over vendor tools and hardly adopted open standards • Creating software systems in C++ and Rust that implement these PLC protocols and deliver preprocessed data to the ENLYZE platform • Developing endpoint software in C++ compatible across three decades of operating systems found in the industry • Introducing multi-platform software development and infrastructure management processes in a young company (commonly called "DevOps" these days) • Creating and managing Linux-based firmware for an edge device fleet (using Mender/Yocto)
