Automation & Continuous Improvement

Built to fit. Not sold as a subscription.

I find where a production process is losing time, quality, or money — then build the exact tool that fixes it. Calibrated on your real data, not a wrapper bolted onto someone else's model.

PASS — BUILT TO FIT
Not another AI wrapper

What this actually is

Most "automation consulting" right now is a subscription to someone else's model with a logo on top. This is the opposite: I diagnose your process first, then build — or don't, if a tool isn't actually the answer.

Not this

A chatbot bolted onto your workflow

This

A working tool, embedded where your team already operates

Not this

A template built for a hundred other companies

This

Diagnosed and built for one process: yours

Not this

A subscription you renew and hope keeps working

This

A quality gate that either passes or it doesn't — every time

How an engagement runs

01

Diagnose

Structured root-cause analysis, not guesswork. Fixed scope, fixed fee, a clear answer either way.

02

Build

Software, automation, or workflow redesign — whatever the diagnosis actually calls for, built for your process specifically.

03

Embed

Deployed where your team already works, measured against a real baseline — not a promise.

Case files

A sample of problems diagnosed and solved. Details generalised where they'd otherwise identify a client.

Verified

Closing the traceability gap

Challenge

No structured way to trace quality issues to their source — recurring problems kept resurfacing.

Approach

Structured DMAIC project: root-caused across process and communication behaviour, ran targeted interventions.

Outcome

Significant, sustained improvement in traceability compliance — verified with real data.

Verified

Pre-production quality gate

Challenge

Design files reached the floor with no automated check — errors caught only after material and time were spent.

Approach

Built a digital QA system validating files before they reach a machine, catching structural and sizing issues automatically.

Outcome

Physical test-cutting eliminated for validated files; defects caught at the design stage.

Verified

Fleet-wide file distribution & audit

Challenge

Auditing files across a multi-machine fleet was manual, slow, and at scale, impractical to run at all.

Approach

Automated distribution on a fixed schedule with a full, timestamped audit trail — zero manual steps.

Outcome

A process that was previously impractical to run now takes about half an hour, fully traceable.

Verified

Predictive production planning

Challenge

Time estimates relied on manual test-runs and rough averages — slow, and didn't scale.

Approach

Built a predictive model calibrated on real historical production data, capturing the factors that actually drive time.

Outcome

Faster, more consistent estimates feeding directly into planning and scheduling.

ONE PERSON

TO DEPLOY

Who's behind this

I'm a production manager and self-taught engineer with 8+ years in high-volume manufacturing. I split my time between running daily operations and building the tools that make them better — quality gates, predictive models, fleet automation, workflow redesign.

Everything on this page was diagnosed, built, and deployed by one person, tested against real production data — not a slide deck. No team of consultants between you and the person who actually understands your process.
