How I got here.
I started on factory floors. At Alpha Measurement I pulled usage history out of the warehouse ERP, ranked every part by how often it moved, and put the fastest movers closer to the pick face. Average pick time dropped 25%. At Tesla I built material flow models and warehouse layouts across three production shops, and identified millions in savings in dock allocation and storage. At Boeing I keep an eight-person engineering program on schedule as Scrum Master, and built the data systems that cut executive reporting time by two thirds.
That is the whole pattern. Find the thing being done by hand, build what replaces it, measure what changed. Industrial engineering is how I think about it: inputs, constraints, outcomes. It is also why the systems I build are ones I trust to run on their own.
Outside work I build things at home to learn. From March to June 2026 I spent nights and weekends on Soltreya, a solo side project: a quality platform for manufacturers on a multi-agent framework I wrote from scratch. It never had customers and I stopped building it in June. Now I am building Holon, a personal operating system I use every day, where I work on the parts of AI systems that are hardest to get right: approval gates, retrieval, and cost limits.
Where I've worked
- Coordinate systems integration across 3 partner companies and 6 government organizations, and run the Agile process as Scrum Master for an 8-person engineering team.
- Built the team's authoritative data source, the single record of status, dates, and owners for 48 integration activities. Cut executive briefing prep 67% and fed automated KPI dashboards.
- Built a program tracker that uses Power Query to roll 10+ engineering teams' status and escalations into one dashboard for weekly leadership reviews. 20+ items escalated and 8 actions assigned in its first two weeks.
- Built a Qlik Sense dashboard giving chief engineers a live view of integration risk, with 50+ findings tracked to resolution. One of 3 finalists in a business-unit-wide innovation competition for it, demoed live to the executives judging.
- Defined the compliance assessment process across both sides of the interface for 336+ requirements, standardizing how each side verifies, documents, and reports.
- Identified $3.4M in dock-allocation savings and cut storage 66%; redesigned delivery routes for $4M/yr additional OPEX reduction, freeing 16,000 sq ft.
- Built material-flow models for 3 shops (250+ parts) in Revit and AutoCAD; raised lineside part buy-off rate from 54% to 95% through validation meetings with four engineering disciplines.
- Cut average pick time 25%: pulled historical usage from ALERE ERP, ran an ABC analysis to rank parts by running volume, and reslotted the fastest movers closer to the pick face.
- Created the processes and work instructions that scaled production to 5,000 units a month, and established 5S lean workspaces across shipping and the raw material warehouse.
- Returned as the Industrial Engineering intern after a first summer as Special Projects intern, running the warehouse's ERP inventory transactions and moving parts out to the production shops. Doing the job by hand first is what showed me what to optimize.
- Automated a hospital therapy department's daily productivity reporting, cutting supervisor reporting time 66% (90 to 30 minutes) and removing manual calculation errors.
What I've built
Soltreya: AI quality platform
A side project I built alone, at home, to learn to build and deploy production software. It was aimed at corrective actions in regulated manufacturing: the root-cause and paperwork work quality engineers otherwise spend weeks on per finding. It found and scored target factories, drafted outreach for me to approve, ran the Quality Hub app, and kept itself running across 17 background jobs behind a four-gate security model. It never had customers, and I stopped building it in June 2026.
The WAT framework
Workflows, Agents, Tools. The reliability pattern under everything: probabilistic AI handles reasoning while deterministic code handles execution, so 90%-accurate steps never compound into failure.
Holon
A personal operating system that pulls finances, calendar, email, and documents into one dashboard. Claude reaches it through an MCP server I built, and every change it wants waits for my approval. Search mixes embeddings with full-text, and every model call is logged and capped by cost. 13 modules, 12 integrations, 1,200+ passing tests. View the repo
bellwether
Open archive of developer-infrastructure pricing, built in four days. A TypeScript pipeline collected 27 public pricing pages, Claude pulled out structured prices, a change was only reported after two observations agreed, and Claude wrote a cited weekly digest. Not running since August. See the board · View the repo
