Greetings,
My name is Gilbert Dominguez, and I am a mechanical engineering graduate with a concentration in automation and robotics from the Georgia Institute of Technology. My time at Georgia Tech can best be characterized as a jack of all trades. From the very beginning of my undergraduate career learning carpentry, set building, and audio engineering, to my latter years operating high-end 5-axis CNC machines, performing industrial automation research, and managing a prototyping lab. After graduation, I began my professional career in industrial automation, receiving exposure in everything from various PLC platforms, to large-scale motion control, and industrial vision and lidar solutions. My current focus is on the use of automation methods to improve existing manufacturing methods, encompassing everything from the controller and robotic implementation, in addition to usability and ease of understanding as well.
