Creative technologist building the machinery a business runs on.

I work close to the ground, inside the actual workflow of a food and beverage business, not from a spec document. The tools I build get judged the same way the kitchen does: does it work today, under pressure, without anyone babysitting it.

The problems I take on are the ones nobody writes a ticket for. A recap typed out by hand every night. A price that lives in four places and disagrees with itself. The same adjustment applied two hundred times by someone who stopped concentrating an hour ago. None of that is interesting work for a person, and all of it is load-bearing.

So I start by watching the manual version of the job rather than asking what it should do. Then I build the smallest thing that removes the step, and I keep it running. Design, code and the automation behind it are the same job here, which is the reason these tools stay small: nobody has to hand a specification to anyone else, so nothing gets built to cover a misunderstanding.

/ CONTACT

Open to technical projects, operational systems, automation work and creative technology. If you have a process that only works because somebody is holding it together by hand, that is the kind of problem I find interesting.

SEEING THE REAL THING

The case studies describe these systems rather than show them. The working interfaces sit inside a live operation, so they are not published here. If you want to see how any of them actually looks and runs, ask and I will walk you through it.
