Machine & fab shops  ·  Software that kills the weekly busywork

Most of my work is writing small automations — calc scripts, dashboards, and doc-to-action tools that take a recurring, hand-done task off someone's week and just make it stop.

Some of it has been on the manufacturing side directly: I built a weld-line defect-detection system for injection-molded show parts on a production line. The common thread is always the same — find the work a person is doing by hand every week because nobody's had time to fix it, and fix it.

The kind of thing I mean

• The same job data hand-keyed into three different systems.
• RFQ and job status that lives in someone's head and a spreadsheet.
• Compliance and traceability paperwork rebuilt from scratch each time.
• The after-hours spreadsheet someone updates so the morning works.

How I work

Local, and in person — not over Zoom. Most developers you'd hear from are remote and have never spent time on a shop floor. I'd rather drive over, watch how you actually run things, and figure out together whether there's something worth building. No pitch deck, no retainer to start — a short visit and an honest read.
