Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikolas Gamarra is a controls engineer with 11 years’ experience designing and implementing embedded and industrial control software, currently programming Beckhoff TwinCAT systems for large-scale laundry machinery in Chicago. He has a robotics engineering degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and a track record of moving from vehicle and robotics software roles into heavy-equipment controls at Progress Rail and Chicago Dryer Company. Nikolas blends systems-level thinking with hands-on PLC and real-time programming, shipping production-ready control solutions across drying, ironing, and flatwork equipment. He’s comfortable across the software lifecycle—from low-level application development to field deployment—and brings practical testing and integration experience from both robotics startups and industrial OEMs. An attention to applied robotics and automation, plus a personal site (nxgamarra.com) that consolidates his work, hints at an engineer who documents and iterates on real-world systems beyond the lab.
