About Me
Manufacturing IT Specialist & Practical Problem Solver
I bridge the gap between factory floor and business systems. For 13+ years at Toyota Boshoku, I've built reliable VB.NET applications that actually get used in production—PLC integration systems that pull real-time data from the factory floor, automated reporting solutions that transformed hours of manual work into minutes, and bulletproof 24/7 systems that keep production running.
My specialty: taking messy production data and turning it into actionable insights. I understand both the technical side (VB.NET, SQL Server, industrial protocols) and the operational side (manufacturing processes, quality tracking, what operators actually need). This hybrid perspective lets me build solutions that are practical, maintainable, and solve real problems.
Core Technologies: VB.NET • SQL Server • PLC Integration (OPC/Modbus) • SSRS • Industrial Automation
Current Position: IT Specialist at Toyota Boshoku (2012 - Present, 13+ years)
Programming Languages & Technologies
VB.NET • SQL • C# • Python • Jython (Ignition) • Swift • SwiftUI • SSRS • VBA • ZPL • ZPL II • C++ (Arduino)
Skills & Experience
PLC Integration, SQL Server, Windows/macOS/Linux Administration, SSRS Development, Cybersecurity, and more.
Key Projects
KPI tracking systems, Health & Safety applications, PLC integration solutions, automated reporting, and production data processing systems.
Education & Development
Network Engineering & System Administration (Conestoga College). Currently pursuing Ignition Platform certification.
Featured Projects
PLC Integration System
Real-time production visibility where none existed before. Built VB.NET application that connects to factory floor PLCs, capturing production counts, machine status, and quality data automatically. Eliminated manual data entry errors and gave management instant visibility into production status.
Technologies: VB.NET, SQL Server, OPC/Modbus protocols, industrial PLCs
Automated Reporting System
Transformed hours of manual work into minutes. Replaced labor-intensive Excel-based reporting with automated SSRS solution. Daily production reports that took 2-4 hours of manual compilation now generate automatically in under 5 minutes with zero errors.
Technologies: SQL Server, SSRS, VB.NET, scheduled automation
24/7 Production Systems
Built for reliability in manufacturing environments. Custom business applications running continuously in production—KPI dashboards, Health & Safety tracking, inventory systems. Designed with robust error handling, monitoring, and uptime that manufacturing demands.
Focus: System stability, error handling, production-grade reliability
