Doig Corporation

For the past four years at Doig Corporation, I've built and integrated automation systems, industrial and collaborative robots, sensors, PLCs, and HMIs, along with the control logic that ties them together. Doig is my first role in industry, and it's where I learned what it actually takes to get hardware running outside a classroom.

Automation distribution means regularly deploying equipment nobody on the team has worked with before. The projects I've valued most are the ones where the path forward wasn't mapped out and where the answer came from reading the documentation, testing assumptions on the bench, and staying with the problem after the first approach didn't work. That's where most of my growth has come from, both as an engineer and as someone comfortable being handed an unfamiliar system.

The demo panel (top left) is the clearest single product of that experience. It's a plug-and-play demonstration platform that accepts pneumatic devices and 24 V PNP or NPN sensors without rewiring between setups, running on PLC ladder logic and internal relay control behind an HMI that keeps the sequence readable to a customer watching it run. It consolidates the hardware, the control, and the interface into one piece of equipment that's ready to demonstrate on arrival, which is how I like to approach automation work in general: take something normally assembled and make it repeatable.
