Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGary Silverman is a seasoned SCADA architect and hands-on automation leader with 11+ years designing, standardizing, and modernizing field-to-enterprise control systems across upstream oil & gas, process manufacturing, automotive, and shipbuilding. He has led SCADA departments at three E&P companies and now consults to stabilize and modernize CygNet and Ignition environments, focusing on reliability, templated configurations, and admin training that scale across basins. His expertise spans RTU and communications platforms (Emerson, ABB, SEL), PI/MQTT integration, and practical IoT/backhaul solutions for pad wireless and electrical distribution systems. Gary combines deep field experience—plunger lift, ESPs, rod pumps—and enterprise integration skills to deliver repeatable deployment patterns and governance for acquired/divested assets. Not obvious from titles: he pairs mechanical-engineering training with AWS Solutions Architect-level cloud knowledge to bridge OT architectures with cloud-enabled data pipelines. Based in Golden, Colorado, he’s known for turning complex SCADA estates into maintainable, auditable systems through templating, daily monitoring, and upgrade-ready frameworks.
