Brian Maranga

. I am an enthusiastic and innovative electrical engineer who has participated in and worked on projects involving DC and AC motors, generators, transformers, switchgear maintenance, PLC programming and maintenance, SCADA systems, pneumatic systems, and variable frequency drives. Additionally, I have gained knowledge and skills in power system protection employing both microprocessor-based and electromechanical relays, as well as in electrical building design using a number of CAD programs like AutoCAD and Dialux. I am a creative person who possesses analytical thinking abilities and the capacity to resolve difficult, logical challenges with the purpose of enhancing and maintaining effective, successful operations in an organization. With a track record of initiative and dependability, I have devised strategic initiatives which I believe will prove valuable to an organization.
