Operations · Quality · AI · SaaS

I turn complicated operations into systems people can actually run.

For more than 20 years, I have helped teams reduce waste, improve quality, solve stubborn problems, and make better decisions. Today, I bring that same discipline to AI automation and SaaS products.

  • Lean Six Sigma Black Belt
  • MBA in Project Management
  • BS in Electronics Engineering

I have worked on factory floors, inside a major bank, with aerospace and automotive quality teams, in medical manufacturing, and as the owner of an operating business. That range helps me see connections that specialists sometimes miss.

What I do

I help organizations move from recurring problems to reliable performance.

I am most useful when the issue crosses departments, mixes people and technology, and cannot be solved with another meeting or another spreadsheet.

01

Operational excellence

I map how work really moves, identify the constraints, and redesign the process around clear ownership, useful measures, and fewer handoffs.

  • Lean Six Sigma and DMAIC
  • Value-stream and process mapping
  • KPI design and management controls
02

Quality and manufacturing

I connect quality requirements to daily operations so teams can prevent problems, respond faster, and produce evidence that stands up to scrutiny.

  • AS9100, AS9102 and supplier quality
  • CAPA, MRB and root-cause analysis
  • Inspection, calibration and production support
03

Programs and change

I bring operations, technology, management, vendors, and users together around one plan. The goal is adoption and measurable performance, not a presentation.

  • Cross-functional program leadership
  • Requirements, testing and implementation
  • Training and change adoption
04

AI automation and SaaS

I build practical systems that reduce manual work, organize information, and help small businesses act on what matters without adding unnecessary complexity.

  • AI agents and workflow automation
  • CRM, document and lead-processing systems
  • Product strategy, testing and iteration

Industry range

Different environments. The same need for disciplined execution.

My experience spans regulated manufacturing, service operations, technology, and small business ownership.

Aerospace

Quality leadership, AS9100, AS9102, inspection, calibration, MRB, supplier quality and manufacturing support.

Automotive

Manufacturing quality, TS16949 auditing, operating a dealership, inventory, vendors, financing and customer operations.

Medical manufacturing

Lean Six Sigma improvement in lens manufacturing with measurable gains in scrap, yield, cost and productivity.

Banking

Large-scale process redesign, automation, controls and change delivery across operations, technology and international teams.

Electronics

Failure analysis, new-product support, field quality, engineering collaboration and technical training.

SaaS and AI

Hands-on product development for CRM, workflow management, business automation, reporting and customer communication.

Selected results

Good process work should show up in the numbers.

Banking

Rebuilding a high-volume mortgage process

Led a redesign and automation program supporting thousands of mortgage-loss transactions each month. Coordinated roughly 20 contributors across operations, technology, management, and international teams.

Builder and business owner

I did not stop at advising other people’s businesses.

I built and operated my own dealership, then began creating software around the problems I saw firsthand. That work made me a better operator and a more practical product leader.

DealerWyze

An operations platform for independent dealerships, with lead management, inventory, scheduling, customer follow-up, reporting, documents, and workflow automation.

Apollo AI

An applied AI and operational-excellence initiative focused on root-cause analysis, process improvement, KPI management, document workflows, and business automation.

Ellinica

A language and cultural learning product built around personalized Greek stories, user experience, content workflows, and direct market feedback.

Additional products

RealtyWyze, VinWyze, ProWyze, and related concepts designed around specific industry workflows rather than generic software features.

My story

Engineer by training. Operator by experience. Builder by choice.

I started in electronics quality, where a problem had to be traced to something real: a design, a process, a component, a training gap, or a decision. That taught me to respect evidence and to keep asking questions until the explanation matched what was happening.

From there, I moved through manufacturing quality, medical process improvement, aerospace leadership, banking transformation, and business ownership. In each setting, the challenge was larger than the process map. People had competing priorities, technology had limits, and improvement had to work in the real world.

Today, I use AI and software as additional tools in the same work. I am interested in technology that makes a business easier to run, gives people clearer information, and removes work that should not require human effort in the first place.
