25yr IT/AI ops across manufacturing, finance, and MSPs. I help ops teams define what winning looks like before they spend on AI — then find the one variable that actually moves the number. Hartis Method. Fixed outcomes. No fluff.
Principal-level infrastructure engineer with 25 years experience helping manufacturers assess technology investments. No software to sell. Just honest assessment of where you stand, what’s ready for automation, and what needs foundational work first.
I help mid-market manufacturers ($30M-$100M) identify which processes are automation-ready before investing $500k-$2M in AI solutions. Using the IN→DO→OUT methodology: define victory ruthlessly, make one irreversible bet, measure mercilessly. 25 years deploying enterprise systems at scale.
Bridging traditional Lean/Six Sigma operations with modern AI and automation. I speak both operations language AND technology language - most consultants only speak one. Vendor-agnostic roadmaps for manufacturers exploring digital transformation.
