About

Hello, I'm Bek.

I'm a multidisciplinary engineer currently working as an Automation Engineer in Minneapolis. I build software and automation solutions that enable users to control devices and equipment through friendly graphical user interfaces on tablets, smartphones, and desktops.

I hold a master's degree in Computer Science from the USA and Electrical Engineering from Germany. I spent nearly five years in Germany as a graduate student, which taught me to adapt quickly, communicate across languages, and perform at the top of my class in a new environment.

Automation and Controls :

On a daily basis, I develop automation systems and software interfaces (HMI/GUI) that control devices remotely. I primarily program in Python, JavaScript, and React to build user interfaces. My goal is to create control systems that are easy to use and easy to maintain.

Data Engineering :

Automation systems generate data, and I spend a significant amount of time designing and implementing reliable, automated data workflows and pipelines to handle data. I use Python, MQTT, AWS services, and Power BI to build monitoring, analysis, and visualization solutions. I also automate environment setup and system configuration using Docker and scripting, making systems scalable, reproducible, and easy to deploy.


I'm eager to grow in the field of automation and data engineering, and I enjoy connecting with professionals in the field. Let's connect on LinkedIn or write me an email
