About Me

I'm an industrial software engineer with a background that runs from the production floor to enterprise-scale automation systems. That floor-level credibility isn't backstory — it's the reason I build systems that actually hold up in manufacturing environments.

For the past four years, I've been the solo developer on enterprise MES automation for 3M manufacturing facilities — writing production code that runs continuously across multiple plant operations. That means 125+ workflows, 100+ custom engine actions, and 40,000+ lines of C#/.NET that nobody is babysitting, because they don't need to be.

I'm one of a small number of developers globally to hold dual Savigent certification in both Workflow and Engine development. In practice, that means I work at the deepest layer of the platform — not just configuring workflows, but building the engine-level components that other workflows depend on.

Before software, I ran production operations at a medical device manufacturer and a tempered glass facility — and before that, I served as an Armor Officer in the Minnesota Army National Guard, commanding a 40-soldier Convoy Escort Platoon in Kuwait and Iraq. The pattern across all of it: step into an underperforming or nonexistent system, assess it clearly, and build something that works.

I'm currently building toward OT/ICS cybersecurity — a natural extension of years spent working directly with the systems that control physical manufacturing processes. Long-term, I'm headed toward technical leadership in industrial operations technology.
