Daniel is a senior instrumentation and controls engineer with over 10 years of experience in process instrumentation, controls, and automation for chemical processing, carbon capture, wastewater treatment, and refinery revamp projects. He leads multidisciplinary teams through the full project life cycle—from concept design and instrumentation specification to procurement, FAT, SAT, and startup support. Daniel is skilled in developing and programming PLC and DCS, including DeltaV Live and Rockwell PlantPAx platforms, and in designing control panels and high-performance human–machine interfaces in accordance with International Society of Automation standards. His project experience includes serving as electrical, instrumentation, and controls lead for wastewater reclaimers and solvent recovery units, instrumentation and controls lead for novel carbon capture technologies, and controls lead for citrus oil distillation systems.

Daniel’s responsibilities have spanned instrumentation specifications, electrical procurement packages, loop and network drawings, PLC programming, control narrative development, and leading FAT/SAT efforts. Earlier in his career, he worked as a process engineer on refinery revamp projects, using advanced simulation tools such as Aspen HYSYS, HTRI, and FRNC-5, and performing hydraulic, heat-transfer, and fired-heater design studies.

Daniel holds both a Master of Science and a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Manhattan College. He is an Engineer in Training in New York and an active member of the International Society of Automation.

Outside of work, Daniel enjoys spending his time practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu, live music, sci-fi, craft beer, and 3D printing
