Summary
Felipe Albertao is an Industrial Automation Consultant based in Redlands with 14 years of experience bridging software engineering and hands-on controls work for mid-sized warehousing and environmental systems. Trained at Carnegie Mellon in software engineering and furthering industrial automation at SBVC, he specializes in resolving the "Logic Gap" where PLCs, VFDs, and networked sensors outpace general maintenance and standard IT support. He documents and reverse-engineers legacy PLC logic, deploys custom electronics (ESP32/Arduino) and PCBs, and implements secure networking and SDN for resilient automation. Previously a software engineering manager at PayPal, he brings product-grade development practices, release discipline, and team leadership to field projects. An OSHA-30 certified HAM radio technician, Felipe pairs urban water modeling and GIS-enabled predictive analytics with practical surge support to reduce downtime and harden disaster recovery for Inland Empire facilities.
