I am David Vaknin, a results-driven Project Engineer with over 30 years of hands-on experience in building automation and control systems. My career has been built on a foundation of curiosity, problem-solving, and a deep passion for how technology can make buildings smarter, safer, and more energy-efficient.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to work with industry leaders such as Johnson Controls, Carrier, and Automated Logic, managing and executing complex projects that integrated HVAC, power, and low-voltage systems. From troubleshooting intricate control systems to designing complete automation solutions, my journey has been defined by a commitment to precision, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
My expertise extends beyond engineering I thrive on collaboration. Whether it’s guiding technicians in the field, working with design engineers, or partnering with clients to craft customized solutions, I take pride in building strong professional relationships that lead to long-term success. I believe that communication is the backbone of every successful project, and I strive to bridge the gap between technical details and real-world goals.
Today, I’m focused on growing my network within the building automation community connecting with professionals who share a vision for innovation and efficiency. I’m especially passionate about the convergence of IT and automation, and how emerging technologies like IoT and AI are shaping the future of smart buildings.
Outside of work, I’m equally driven by mentorship and teamwork. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with young technicians and collaborating with peers to push the industry forward.
If you share a passion for intelligent building systems, energy optimization, or technology-driven engineering I’d love to connect and exchange ideas. Together, we can continue to advance the future of building automation.
