Industrial AI — Calgary, Alberta — Since 1994

AI That Does Real Work. Not Promises.

30 years building physical systems that cannot fail. Now deploying AI that integrates with actual industrial operations — not slide decks, not dashboards nobody uses, not cloud that goes dark when you need it most.

The Problem

Corporate AI
Is Selling You
Noise.

Every vendor is promising "AI transformation." Most of it is rebranded software running on servers you don't control, solving problems you don't have, deployed by people who've never been on a plant floor.

Industry doesn't run on vibes. It runs on uptime, throughput, and margins. I build AI that integrates with actual operations — PLCs, SCADA, field trades workflows. Systems that keep working when the connection drops.

"If your AI goes offline when the network drops, it was never industrial-grade to begin with."

What I Build

Services

Not a consultant. Not a software house. An operator who builds systems that get used on the floor — not presented in boardrooms.

01
Edge AI Integration
Deploy inference at the machine — not in the cloud. Your operations continue when connectivity doesn't. Works alongside existing PLCs, sensors, and SCADA without tearing out infrastructure.

Predictive Maintenance
Model failures before they happen using your existing sensor data. Not vendor-specific. Not subscription-locked. You own it.

Process Intelligence
Automate decisions that currently live in someone's head. Capture operator knowledge, encode it, and deploy it across every shift.

Trade Tech Automation
Automated takeoffs, building code compliance agents, material scheduling. AI built for journeymen — not project managers in glass offices.

Operational Audit
No pitch deck. I walk your site, understand your workflow, and tell you honestly where AI creates real ROI versus where it's just cost. Straight talk, no commitment.

How It Works

No Surprises.
No Bloat.

Step 01
Site Walk
I come to you. See the operation. Understand what actually matters before writing a line of code or quoting a dollar figure.
Step 02
Scoped Plan
Flat scope. Fixed deliverables. No vague retainers or change-order games. You know what you're getting and what it costs before we start.
Step 03
Build & Test
Built on your infrastructure, tested against your real operating conditions. Not a controlled demo environment.
Step 04
Handover
You own it completely. Full documentation. Your team operates and maintains it without calling me back every time something changes.
Background

Thirty Years
of Physical
Systems.

Started as an ISP in Red Deer. Spent three decades building infrastructure where failure wasn't acceptable — grid systems, industrial controls, trade operations across Alberta.

Came to AI because I kept watching vendors sell fantasy to operations teams who knew better but couldn't articulate why it wouldn't work. I build the version that actually does.

⚡
Grid & Power Systems
30+ years operating within Alberta's grid reality. N-1 contingency isn't a concept — it's a daily constraint you engineer for.
🔧
Industrial Controls Background
Understands OT environments. Won't prescribe solutions that violate operational safety or network isolation requirements.
📡
ISP & Networking Roots
Built networks in Red Deer when connectivity was something you engineered around — not assumed would always be there.
🏗️
Trade Sector Experience
Built tools for journeymen, not executives. Knows what Master Trades actually need from technology versus what looks good in a demo.
🤖
Applied AI — Not Academic
No research papers. Production deployments that run on shifts, handle downtime, and get used by actual operators day after day.

Let's Talk
About Your
Operation.

No discovery calls with junior reps. You talk directly to the person building it. Bring your real problem — I'll tell you straight whether AI is the right tool for it or not.
