About me
I’m a self-taught manufacturing AI developer & consultant.
Before this, I owned and operated a CNC machine shop in the Midwest for more than five years.
That shop eventually shut down, and I went through bankruptcy. Tough ending—but it gave me something most AI developers lack: first-hand experience running a small manufacturing business, understanding its bottlenecks, and knowing the kind of automation that actually makes a difference.
Today, I build AI-powered systems for manufacturing companies.
These systems help manufacturers work faster, reduce waste, improve production planning, and make better decisions—without needing a team of software engineers to run them.
I share my work and build AI applications for manufacturers in public. You can follow my progress on LinkedIn and on Twitter/X.
You can learn more about my story, including what happened to my business, on my Substack.
Writings
I regularly write about my experience buying a small business, and as a first-time operator trying to navigate an unfamiliar industry.
To read my writing, visit my Substack. It's called Imperfect Entrepreneuring and it's where I post all my articles.
