Pronounced: All-den

I'm a father, husband, East Carolina Pirate, and automation engineer who enjoys building practical technology for real-world industrial problems.

By day, I work as a Senior Automation Engineer at Flexware Innovation, helping connect manufacturing systems, automation platforms, and data-driven operations.

Outside of work, I'm building open-source infrastructure for the future of manufacturing through the Open Factory Initiative, including the Factory Intelligence Platform — an effort to make factory software more transparent, extensible, governed, and AI-native.

• Industrial automation, controls, and manufacturing systems
• AI-native factory software and agentic manufacturing workflows
• MES, SCADA, QMS, CMMS, and ERP integration patterns
• Life Sciences, Biotechnology, and cGMP manufacturing technology
• Open-source tools that help engineers, operators, and quality teams work smarter

An open-source community focused on building transparent, governed, and extensible infrastructure for modern manufacturing intelligence.

A platform concept designed to help manufacturing teams understand:

• What is happening
• Why it is happening
• What should happen next
• How decisions, events, and improvements are governed over time
