I'm Conner. Shop floor, IT director, the solution engineer you put in the room when the demo had to land, and now product lead for AI agents at Epicor. This site isn't my résumé. It's the work.
Run a problem through01 — How it actually gets done
Same three moves every time, whether it's a hospital, a heavy-civil estimator, or my own kitchen table.
01 / SAT WITH
Manufacturers and distributors, in demos and on site, for years. The data was never the problem. Access was.
02 / BROKE IT DOWN
People want to ask questions in plain language and act on the answer, inside the security and governance they already trust.
03 / SHIPPED
A platform where customers and partners build their own agents on top of their ERP, rolling out vertical by vertical.
One of my favorite solutions involved no tech at all.
Missed shipments. A dimly lit warehouse. Everyone looking for a system to fix it.
“Why don't we just make the labels bigger?”
Problem gone.
02 — Don't take my word for it
Things I've built off the clock. Real products, real screens.
Bid intelligence and estimating for heavy construction. Aggregated bid data, normalized pricing, competitor analytics, agents, MCP, and an in-app assistant.

Task management built for my ADHD, so my family and I get things done together. checkii.app
Many systems in, one MCP out, plus a chat harness that talks to one app or ten at once.
Work orders for job and weld shops, with weld stamping against PDF drawings. Built by someone who’s been on that floor.
Find mental healthcare, fast. Free search first, then provider claiming, then level-loading capacity. luctance.app

On who gets to build
AI isn't really about replacing jobs. It's about who gets to build.
People who always knew what systems should do finally have the tools to make them.
On computer use
We had a brain in a bottle. Now it has hands.
A smart model plus software that gives it access and controls is when things actually change.
On building for your own brain
I built the task app I needed. Then my family started using it.
Time blindness, the void of a calendar, and why input has to take seconds.
05 — Both sides of the fence
With a team or alone, in the middle of a pandemic, or on my back in a puddle of hydraulic fluid. I've been the buyer, the implementer, the seller, and now the one deciding what gets built.
06 — Show up early
I get to customer locations early. The day before, an earlier flight. Time to walk around and get the feel of the area and the people before anyone opens a laptop.
The camera comes along. I've been commissioned for it, but mostly it's how I pay attention.

Pizzas made. Same loop as software: make one, taste it, fix the next one.

Dropped out of college before finally finishing. Still bitter it cost me the joke: PHD = Public High School Diploma.

Suzuki cafe racer, built in the garage this year. Mint, gold, and diamond-stitched.
Before → after
Screen it in, add some stairs, concrete, under deck storage, garden, and sun abatement. Same playbook, different tools.
