Fabrication & installation
Boilermaking, structural steel and sheet metal; MIG, TIG and GMAW; drawings, fit-up, measurement and practical modelling.
CAPABILITIES / FLOOR → OFFICE → SOFTWARE
One problem can cross
five disciplines.
I can follow it from the physical process to the production plan, business records and software that supports the decision.
01
Industrial & physical
Start with what the machine and material are actually doing.
I combine trade knowledge with practical fabrication, maintenance and installation experience. That helps me recognise constraints before they become a system requirement.
Plant & maintenance
Pumps, pipework, conveyors, crushers, mills, screens, ovens, boilers, motors, bearings and gearboxes; hydraulic and pneumatic fault-finding.
Manufacturing processes
Laser cutting, CNC folding, fabrication, powder coating and industrial finishing. Preventative maintenance, breakdown response and contractor coordination.
02
Production & operations
A plan is only useful if the floor can run it.
I connect the schedule, people, materials, quality and maintenance around the delivery commitment.
Planning & capacity
Production sequencing, labour allocation, shifts, dependencies, mini-batches and bottleneck visibility.
Control & handovers
Work-in-progress, revision control, quality gates, traceability, priorities, escalation and dispatch readiness.
Leadership & reporting
Supervisor support, staff development, practical SOPs, WHS controls and reports that identify a decision or next action.
03
Practical digital systems
Capture once. Make the next action obvious.
I build around how people actually work and the systems already in the business.
Operational models
Advanced Excel schedules, structured templates, dashboards and exception reports. Clear inputs, visible assumptions and useful outputs.
Automation & applications
Python, PowerShell, file and data processing, repeatable reporting and lightweight web tools.
Microsoft workflows
Forms, Power Automate, SharePoint and Teams; Power Apps and Power BI where they suit the task and existing environment.
04
Governed AI construction
Useful intelligence. Clear limits.
I design where AI can read, propose or build, and where a person must verify and authorise.
Role separation
Planning, building and independent review; bounded work packages and explicit acceptance criteria.
Evidence & recovery
Git, hashes, test reports, state capture, failure records and recoverable starting points.
Controlled knowledge
Markdown and YAML instruction architecture, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex workflows, and read-only operational views.
05
Business translation
Connect the control to the consequence.
I turn an operational complaint into a clear requirement: what needs to change, who needs it and how we will know it works.
Follow the commercial flow
Quoting, procurement, materials, inventory, production, maintenance, dispatch, invoicing and customer communication.
Find the useful first step
Understand the cost of chasing, repeat failures, rework and unreliable status before choosing a platform.
Make it usable
Explain the system plainly, involve the people who will use it and hand over practical documentation and verification.
I build operational systems and decision support around the authorised people. Licensed engineering, electrical, legal and accounting work stays with the appropriate professional.
Start with the real problem
Where is the work getting stuck?
Tell me what should happen, what actually happens, and who ends up chasing it.
