About

20+ years running complex production lines

I'm a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) based in Quebec, with over 20 years of experience in manufacturing engineering and industrial automation.

My career has taken me through industries where precision and reliability are non-negotiable: aerospace (Bombardier), medical devices (Medtronic, Zimmer Biomet), and transportation (Prevost). Today, I'm a Transformation Manager at FTAI Aviation, where I lead turnaround time (TAT) reduction initiatives for CFM56 engine MRO operations.

A technology enthusiast at heart, I stay closely engaged with the latest advances in automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics — a curiosity that directly fuels the quality of the solutions I bring to my clients.

Certifications

  • P.Eng. — Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec
  • PMP — Project Management Professional

What sets me apart

I'm not tied to a single platform or approach: my goal is to find the solution best suited to your actual production context — whether that means predictive automation, robotics, or applied artificial intelligence.

Services

A three-step approach

Scalable to the size of your project.

01

Diagnostic

Analysis of your current production processes to identify automation opportunities, bottlenecks, and potential gains — whether your production is high-volume standardized, low-volume, or highly customized.

  • Capacity audit
  • Process mapping
  • Priority identification
02

Design

Development of the technical solution suited to your actual context.

  • Industrial Automation & Industry 4.0 — IIoT architecture, predictive maintenance, multi-platform PLC programming
  • Robotic Solutions — cobots, industrial robots, or hybrid systems
  • Dedicated & Custom Automation — tailored systems
  • Machine Vision — automated quality control and real-time inspection
  • Applied Artificial Intelligence — computer vision, predictive systems
03

Implementation

Full commissioning with project leadership under PMP methodology.

  • Project management and stakeholder coordination
  • Operational transformation and continuous improvement (Lean Six Sigma)
  • Post-implementation optimization for measurable ROI

Portfolio

Work

Two areas of expertise, applied to real production contexts.

Industry 4.0 & Predictive Maintenance

Challenge

Anticipating equipment failures and optimizing performance before they impact production — high-cadence, low-volume, or custom manufacturing.

Approach

Multi-platform expertise in industrial PLC programming, combined with machine vision and IIoT architecture to continuously capture data and detect early warning signs of failure, rather than reacting after the fact.

Impact

Fewer unplanned shutdowns, extended equipment lifespan, and a successful shift from reactive to predictive mode.

Robotics & Robotic Automation Solutions

Challenge

Integrating robotic solutions — collaborative or industrial — into existing or new lines, where space, safety, and coexistence with human operators are key constraints.

Approach

Analysis of production processes to identify robotic automation opportunities, selection of the best-suited solution — cobot, industrial robot, or hybrid system — and full integration including programming, safety, and cycle optimization.

Impact

Flexible, scalable automation deployed without significantly interrupting production, with a fast return on investment.
