Case Studies
// Production work — proprietary systems, documented outcomesProduction systems built for 3M and Surgical Technologies can't be open-sourced — they're embedded in live plant operations. These write-ups cover the problem, the approach, the key decisions, and the measurable outcomes.
Finished Goods Audit Automation
A 3M plant producing 1,000,000 sponges per day was completing fewer than 60% of required quality audits — one department as low as 12%. No audit meant no "last known good product" checkpoint, leading to mass quarantine events covering 70+ pallets. Designed and delivered a two-iteration MES workflow solution that drove plant-wide audit completion to 98%+ and created a single source of truth for quality data feeding Grafana and Power BI dashboards.

Plant-Wide Machine Monitoring System
Plant leadership had no real-time visibility into machine runtime vs. downtime across a dozen workcenters. Downtime was invisible until it showed up in end-of-shift numbers — too late to act on. Built a continuous machine monitoring system using OPC signal integration that surfaced hundreds of hours of previously hidden downtime and enabled productivity improvements worth over $1M/month.
Manufacturing Coming Soon
3-Stage Continuous Production Automation
A continuous manufacturing line (Mixer → Cooker → Wrapper) required operators to manually manage order cascading across three workcenters — a slow, error-prone process that introduced data integrity risk at each handoff. Built full end-to-end OPC-to-MES automation that handles order generation, BOM retrieval, inventory consumption, and closeout across all three stages from a single operator selection.

Personal Projects
// Active development — visible codeBuilt to make real-world OT and MES patterns visible outside of proprietary production systems — same logic, open tooling, linkable code.
State Machine Engine
A C# library for modeling and executing finite state machines with a clean, declarative API. Designed for integration into MES, workflow, and process automation systems. Demonstrates the same state-driven patterns that power production manufacturing workflows.
OPC-UA Machine Monitor
A web-based machine monitoring dashboard built against a simulated OPC-UA data source. Translates the same monitoring patterns from production into a publicly visible, open-source implementation.
Open Source
// Contributions & standalone releasesNothing here yet. Open source contributions and standalone releases will live here as the portfolio builds out.
