ABOUT NEERAJ

Result driven automation and validation specialist with 9 years of experience in industrial control systems implemented for pharmaceutical and diverse manufacturing industries.

After completing my engineering college from Punjab, India in July 2008, I went for Rockwell/Siemens training to learn basics of PLC programming and VFD controls. I started my career in India as an assistant automation engineer performing operating systems install, automation softwares installation and setup. I was assisting senior engineers with system testing and troubleshooting.

I moved to Greenwood, IN, United States in July 2011 after marrying my wife who has been in United States since 2004. I took part time job of warehouse assistant with Amazon while I searched for an engineering job. To my good luck, I was hired by E-Technolgies group in Oct 2011 for 3 months try-out period. Things worked out great and i was hired full time in Feb 2012. I went on to my first onsite start-up to Cayey, Puerto Rico in March 2012 . Since then I have worked for multiple cleints on different technologies and platforms. I came to San Diego, CA in Oct 2012 for start-up commissioning and validation of a pharmaceutical bulk manufacturing system. We loved San Diego so much and decided to make it our permanent home. I kept working for E-Technolgies Group from San Diego and later joined Pacira pharmaceuticals as senior automation engineer in July 2015.

Currently I am working as SCADA engineer for leading water/waste water system integrator.
