Most of my work sits where messy operations meet data: equipment reliability, retail operations, manufacturing analytics, and the reporting paths leaders actually use.
The useful details are the mechanism: what changed, what was connected, who used it, and what improved.
Connected machine events, service history, POS and app signals, and reporting paths for distributed laundromat operations. The work helped reduce equipment downtime.
Directed analytics applications and ETL work across a broad manufacturing footprint, connecting plant-floor data to reporting people could use.
Built small systems end to end: edge telemetry, hosted dashboards, persistent APIs, public routes, and operational alerts.
I like the unglamorous middle: understanding the work, finding the decision that needs to improve, building the data path, and making the result usable for the people running the business.
Hi, I'm Kyle. I'm a technical product and analytics leader with 17+ years across engineering, manufacturing, retail operations, consumer products, and enterprise data. I’m usually drawn to concrete problems: equipment is down, reporting is manual, data is scattered, adoption is lagging, or operators need a clearer way to decide what to do next.
Scope, systems built, measurable outcomes, and the adoption work required after the demo is over.
Sensors, APIs, dashboards, game loops, MCP tools, Docker services, and public endpoints. Small enough to inspect. Real enough to keep running.
The useful split is hands-on tools, architecture patterns, and business domains where the work creates leverage.
B.S. Mechanical Engineering — 2008.
Specialization: Computational Fluid Dynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.
Mechanical-engineering roots still shape the operating style: understand the physical or business system, instrument the constraint, ship a useful mechanism, and keep improving it with evidence.
I’m most useful where operations, data, and product delivery overlap: analytics platforms, IoT telemetry, manufacturing systems, adoption strategy, and reporting that has to hold up after launch.
