AI in production
Agentic workflows inside a solar manufacturer
At Nevados, most recently as Director of AI and Platform. Agent-driven testing and automated review in the engineering pipeline, agent configurations version-controlled like any other infrastructure, and research and sales workflows wired into the tools Supply Chain, Sales and Operations already used. Several-hour processes became ten-minute ones.
The interesting part was never the model. It was adoption, which means sitting with a team and learning which spreadsheet they actually open on a Monday. I also wrote the company's first AI policy and the enablement that made the rest survive without me in the room.
