## Experience

### Founder, Industrial Software Development, Veldarium Technology Systems LLC (Jun 2025 – Present)

- Built and demonstrated software workflows for procurement, capacity-aware planning, freight routing, service dispatch and estimating; interactive examples at veldariumworth.com.
- Developed VeldBuild and VeldMind prototypes for engineering documentation, work readiness, traceability and human review, using synthetic demonstration data.

How this work shaped the software (the site's interpretation, not a resume claim):

- ProcureOS: Procurement: shortages, reorder maths, supplier quotes, approvals.
- ForgePlan: Capacity-aware planning: finite-capacity schedule, machine downtime, ranked recovery options.
- FreightFlow: Freight routing: carrier feasibility, route closures, detour cost, exception recovery.
- ServiceOPS: Service dispatch: work orders, qualified technicians, parts reservation, SLA clocks.
- EstimateOS: Estimating: cost build-up, bid leveling, markup versus margin, revisions.

### Founder, Software Product Development, WhiskerMatch (2026 – Present)

- Built and tested a shelter-operations software prototype covering intake records, foster and adoption workflows, application reviews and staff handoffs.

### Project Manager, Business Consultant, MoveJunk (Jun 2022 – Feb 2023)

- Ran four to five service jobs at a time, lining up crews, routes, schedules, changing requirements, customer communication and closeout.

How this work shaped the software (the site's interpretation, not a resume claim):

- ForgePlan: Re-planning crews when requirements changed is the same problem as resequencing work when a machine goes down.
- FreightFlow: Routing crews between jobs is where the detour-cost and feasibility checks come from.

### Certified Sales Leader, Personal Development Team, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? (Feb 2022 – Jul 2022)

- Quoted and sold residential and commercial services; coached new team members on customer conversations and operating procedures.

How this work shaped the software (the site's interpretation, not a resume claim):

- EstimateOS: Quoting on the spot showed why a price needs a traceable build-up: costs, markup versus margin, and revisions you can compare.
