Summary
Wilmer Ramirez is a contractor specializing in ML and PLC programming with eight years’ experience building automated machines and industrial control systems across food processing, robotics, and maritime research. Holding a PhD in Maritime Engineering, he bridges academic research in spectral imaging and underwater vehicle ML with hands-on implementation of PLCs, SCADA, HMI development, and multispectral machine vision for industry. His background spans mechanical, electrical and embedded PCB design through to Dockerized deployments and networked database–PLC integrations, reflecting full-stack industrial automation expertise. Comfortable taking projects from concept and 3D layouts to FAT/SAT and field support, he has a track record of turning research prototypes into production-ready solutions. Based in Adelaide, he combines a lifelong familiarity with machines with curiosity-driven experimentation—often applying spectral imaging methods from his PhD work to novel quality-control problems in food and marine domains.
