Lattice, an AI-Accelerated Internal Platform
Lattice is an internal web platform I designed and built for Rea Magnet Wire Co. to consolidate the patchwork of one-off scripts, spreadsheets, and aging utilities that IT and manufacturing relied on day-to-day. It has grown into the central hub for facility mapping, cable management, label printing, procedure checklists, monitoring, documentation, consumable inventory, manufacturing die tracking, dynamic forms, and a growing list of other modules.
What sets Lattice apart from past projects of mine is how it was built. Lattice is the product of a deliberate AI-augmented development workflow, where I act as the architect, reviewer, and decision-maker while leveraging multiple large language models and agentic tooling to compress what would otherwise be months of solo engineering into weeks.
Refreshing Workstations
Workstation refreshes are the least glamorous program IT runs and one of the most important. Done well, nobody notices. Done badly, every helpdesk metric gets worse for a year. Over more than a decade at the same manufacturer I ran several full refresh cycles across office laptops, plant-floor desktops, and quality-lab workstations, and the pattern that kept them quiet was the same every time.
