PierreSéré

Mechanical Engineering Technician

Mechanical engineering technician in Sorel-Tracy (Montérégie, Quebec), I turn manufacturing operations into systems that are simpler, faster and more reliable. Not a developer — a shop-floor quality inspector who builds the tools and methods the industry did not have yet.

What I bring

Three levers, one goal: an organization that performs better

Streamline processes

I analyze operations, find where the time is lost, and put lasting fixes in place.

Digitize with judgment

I build the tools myself when what the market offers does not fit the shop floor.

Strengthen quality

I design systems that improve traceability, cut down errors and make audits straightforward.

What sets me apart

I do not write software.
I design ways of working.

Fourteen years inspecting hydroelectric dam components — complex, precise, up to several tonnes — implementing, maintaining and improving quality systems — ISO 9001, CMMS, dedicated applications — and delivering quality packages to Hydro-Québec, GE, Voith and Andritz. Everything I design today was shaped by those years on the shop floor.

When technology is what is needed, I build it. When the process is the problem, I rethink it. The goal never changes: cut the waste, raise reliability, and leave the organization running better than I found it. Asterion Solutions grew out of that.

Development & Deployment

CAD/Drafting · Data Analysis

NC Manager

Voice · Photos · ERP

Supervisors open a non-conformity straight from the floor: voice dictation in their own language, photos attached, automatic routing to the quality department for analysis and handling. No paperwork.

Shipping Management

ERP · Auto docs · Teams

Order number → matching parts pulled from the ERP → dimensions, weight and photos → shipping documents generated automatically and offices notified. All of it centralized in Teams.

Production Gantt

ERP · LeanKit · Gantt

Production planning wired to the Notixia ERP (times taken from quotes) and to Leankit (production Kanban). A full Gantt view with live priority and lead-time management.

Management Dashboard

KPIs · ERP DB · Interactive

A fully interactive company dashboard: revenue, sales, quality KPIs, maintenance, delays, production, quotes — all tied directly to the ERP database. It replaces PowerBI.

Company Brain

RAG · AI · ERP · Docs

An AI knowledge base connected to ERP data (quality, maintenance, production). It makes AI adoption workable and produces reliable technical documents from the plant’s real data.

Integrated QMS

ISO 9001 · Safety · Metrology

A complete quality system tied to the ERP: quality steering, ISO 9001 audit management, measuring-instrument tracking (calibration), health-and-safety records — centralized and traceable.

Flagship

12 agents · RAG · AI orchestration

Agentic Quality Package

Twelve specialized AI agents orchestrated as a pipeline: parsing customer requirements, reading purchase orders, checking CoCs, mill tests and NDT reports, annotating and renaming every document, then assembling the final package to that customer’s specific requirements. The CNC Brain orchestrates all of it — no human step in between.

Asterion Report

Inspection reports for machine shops — 95% of dimensions extracted straight from the drawing (OCR + AI, handwritten values included), ballooned drawings, GD&T per ASME Y14.5, non-conformity detection. 45 min → 7 min per report.

Where I stand on Boris Cherny’s ladder

On July 16, 2026, Boris Cherny — the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic — published a five-level ladder describing how developers adopt AI agents. It measures one thing: how much of the work you are willing to delegate. At the bottom, a human reads every line the machine produces; as you climb, manual supervision is replaced by a verification system — tests, isolated environments, automated review — that lets ever more agents work in parallel. At every step, the bottleneck is never motivation: it is that system you have to build.

My Claude Code setup puts me between steps 2 and 3: several agents running in parallel, each in its own isolated environment, a verification loop the agent runs itself — typecheck, lint, build — and a review that looks at results, no longer at keystrokes.

Here — 2 → 3

My approach to quality in small manufacturing companies: seven principles

A feature list says nothing: every quality software package handles non-conformities and calibrations. What separates two tools is what their authors believe. Here are the seven principles on which everything we build rests…
