Quality Technician · ISO 9001 · CMMS

I turn manufacturing operations into systems that are simpler, faster and more reliable. Not a developer — a shop-floor technician 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.
