Twenty years as a precision machinist taught me one thing above everything else: details matter and shortcuts cost you later. I bring that same thinking to automation, smart home systems, web builds, and technical consulting. I work with AI as a force multiplier — meaning you get agency-level output at a fraction of the cost, with a human who actually understands what's being built.

How I Work

Human Skill,
AI Amplified

I use AI tools the same way a good machinist uses a CNC machine — it doesn't replace the skill, it multiplies it. I still make the decisions, understand the problem, and stand behind the work. The AI handles the parts that would otherwise slow things down.

What this means for you: faster turnaround, lower cost, and someone who can move between the physical and digital without missing a beat. From a custom fabricated part to an automated workflow — same person, same attention to detail.

"I'm not handing your project to a chatbot. I'm using every tool available to deliver better work. There's a difference — and most people can tell."

What I Do

Skills & Capabilities

A machinist's background means thinking in tolerances, sequences, and consequences. That precision carries into every digital system I build.

⚙️
Machining Background
Twenty years of precision manufacturing. CNC operation, tight tolerances, production and inspection work. This background shapes how I approach every project — digital or physical.
CNC Inspection GD&T Manufacturing
🎨
AI Image Workflows
Building ComfyUI pipelines for consistent, repeatable AI image generation. Not one-off generations — engineered workflows with face consistency, pose control, and automated masking that produce the same quality output every time.

AI Image Work

Pipelines,
Not Prompts.

Anyone can type into an AI image generator. Building a workflow is different — it's an engineered system with defined inputs, controlled outputs, and consistent results regardless of who runs it or how many times.

Using ComfyUI with Flux, IPAdapter FaceID, ControlNet, and custom inpainting nodes, I build pipelines that lock in face identity, control composition, and automate masking — the infrastructure layer that makes AI image generation actually usable at scale.

Available For

Local work in Grey Bruce region and remote projects across Canada. If you're not sure whether your project fits — just ask.

01
Precision Tooling — Coming Soon
Custom fabricated parts, gauges, and tooling under the PMT brand. Currently in development. If you have a specific need, reach out — it may be worth a conversation.
02
CAD Design & Technical Drawing
3D modelling and technical drawings for parts, assemblies, and custom components. Designed by someone who has actually stood at a machine making the thing — exports to STEP, DXF, STL, or whatever format your manufacturer needs.
20 years running CNCs means I catch tolerance issues before they become expensive mistakes.
03
Business Automation
Automating repetitive tasks, connecting your tools, building workflows that run without you. Particularly good for small businesses spending too much time on manual processes.
I build n8n workflows that run while I'm on night shift — yours can too.
04
Smart Home Setup
Home Assistant installation and configuration, sensor deployment, local-first smart home builds. Privacy-conscious setups that don't depend on corporate clouds.
Local-first, no-cloud setups. Works when the power goes out — and in Grey Bruce, it will.
05
Web Projects & Dashboards
Simple websites, information dashboards, landing pages, and web forms. Fast to build, easy to maintain. Good for small businesses that need a professional online presence without agency pricing.
06
Technical Consulting
If you have a problem that's somewhere between "hire an agency" and "figure it out yourself" — that's exactly where I work. Hourly or project-based.
07
IT Support (Local)
Computer setup, network troubleshooting, printer issues, general technology help. House calls in Hanover and surrounding area. Straightforward pricing, no jargon.
Grey Bruce house calls — no ticket system, no outsourcing. You get a real person who shows up.
08
AI Image Workflow Design
Custom ComfyUI pipelines built for consistent, repeatable output. Product visualization, portrait transformation, brand asset generation, before/after compositing. You describe the result you need — I build the machine that produces it reliably, every time.
The difference between "generate an image" and "build a pipeline that generates the right image 100 times in a row."
