Background

About Drayton Monkman

I've designed and troubleshooted industrial control systems using various technologies, such as TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, MODBUS, Structured Text, WPF.NET, C#, XAML, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, Twilio, Python, and Linux. I have successfully developed and deployed data visualization applications, REST API back-ends, and text and email notification systems for multiple clients. I graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering Co-op with Distinction from UBC in April 2022. During my co-op term, I worked as an automation engineer at UBC, where I developed web pages, web apps, and REST APIs using HTML5/CSS3/SASS, SQL, JavaScript, Python, and Flask. I also worked to automate the scalability of containerized user environments using Docker and Kubernetes, and implemented JupyterLab notebook extensions using TypeScript and Python. Additionally, I created software to control lab equipment using the VISA API, SCPI commands, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi. My passion for software engineering and electrical engineering started at a young age, when I was fascinated by how computers and electricity work. I learned C++ at the age of 13, and have been developing my skills ever since. I also enjoy playing instruments, camping, road trips, and downhill skiing in my spare time. My goal is to apply my knowledge and skills to create innovative and impactful solutions for real-world problems.
