👩‍💻 About Me

I’m Dhwani Patel, an Electrical and Automation Engineer based in Kitchener, Ontario, with hands-on experience in designing, supporting, and validating industrial control systems. My work spans electrical panel design, PLC-HMI systems, robotic integration, and power systems — supported by formal training and simulator-driven project development.

With experience across India and Canada, I approach every project with a focus on safety, compliance, and scalable design — whether it’s MCC layouts, control logic, or SCADA integration.
