Experience @ Emerson ⚙️🤖
In the winter of 2025, I joined Emerson as a Co-Op Intelligent Automation Engineer. This role really pushed me to think about automation not just as coding or wiring robots, but as a way to help a massive global company run smoother. I got to sit right at the intersection of hardware, software, and business, which was quite cool.
Some Highlights 🚀
- SCADA Middleware: Built a bridge between Universal Robot cobots and Emerson’s data science pipelines. This wasn’t just a one-off project, it became the foundation for a multi-year automation strategy across several production plants. 🤯
- Trade Compliance Automations: I took a bunch of soon-to-be-sunsetted Robocorp bots and refactored them into Python RPA. Besides keeping critical tariff processes alive, I streamlined them enough to save over 2,000+ hours every year. 💸
- Executive Media Wall: Worked with a teammate to design an interactive dashboard in Power BI + Power Apps. We pulled together nine key metrics into one big “media wall” for leadership — a tool that gave execs real-time insights into how the business was running. 📊
- Sharing Knowledge: Hosted knowledge-sharing sessions with 250+ colleagues across the company. This was as much about tech as it was about sparking a culture of automation, sharing is caring. 🌍✨
