Background

About Michael Ommen

I have 30 years of software deveopment experience and a Masters degree in Software Engineering and a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering. I have held roles ranging from an industrial automation and controls engineer, building desktop business applications and Managed and Supervised the development teams. For 15 years I have worked on industrial machinery and developed the controls and software to make them run and integrate with existing equipment. During this time I have used 8086 Assembly on an STD card rack to implement the controls. I have also used a proprietary programming language on an off the shelf motion controller. Also, I have written the control program in the Beckhoff Twin-Cat EtherCat system. I have written a low-cost HMI to interface with a new electronic control scheme. I have also written C++ Active X components to be embedded in Wonderware screens. I have written an C# program to take an export from a SQL server database and build customer documents using the Adobe Document Builder services. I have written Linux Shell Scripts to monitor automated processes and notify support staff when an error is detected.
