What I do
Industrial automation
PLC and HMI work, mostly Siemens and Omron, and the software that joins the machines up to the rest of the business.
Machines don't care how nice your dashboard looks. They care whether the code is right, and whether someone can fault-find it at 2 am without ringing me.
I write and change PLC and HMI code, do safety upgrades on lines that are already running, and build the software around them: production tracking, reporting, and getting machine data into the systems the office already uses.
Brownfield's fine. Most of the job is changing something that works, carefully, and writing down what changed.
Two ways to work with me
Tools & Dashboards
Fixed Scope · 1–3 Weeks
Small builds for teams that need something specific done properly. One problem, one interface, and whatever has to happen underneath it. Priced per project. Delivered in weeks, not months.
Typically fits
Internal tools only your team uses. Workflow apps you can't buy off the shelf. Custom reporting views. Client portals. Small Shopify add-ons. Making two systems that don't speak to each other start speaking.
What I need from you
A clear description of what it should do. Access to any existing systems it has to talk to. Someone who can answer questions as they come up — ideally not by committee.
Start a small build— I reply within 24 hours. Usually faster.
Platforms & Systems
Per Project · 6–16 Weeks
Longer builds. The whole thing — how it's put together, where the data lives, what users interact with, what operators interact with. Usually something that doesn't exist yet, for a business that needs it to. Priced per project after we've talked it through.
Typically fits
Apps that serve many companies at once and absolutely can't leak data between them. AI-powered tools that do real work, not a wrapper around ChatGPT. Shopify stores with something unusual going on behind them. Software running a factory floor, a warehouse, or a production plant. Anything where the numbers have to reconcile and the audit trail has to hold up.
How it usually goes
A short scoping call first. Then a written proposal with scope, milestones, timeline, and price. I build in weekly visible chunks — you see real progress every week, not a demo at the end after months of silence.
Start a platform— expect a scoping call within the week
