Portfolio

Projects, products, and contributions that showcase my work in manufacturing SaaS, Power Platform, and AI-assisted development.

Outsiders Solutions — Andon-SSP

Modern SaaS for Visual Production Optimization

Co-founded in March 2025, Outsiders Solutions specializes in SaaS for visual production optimization in manufacturing. Andon-SSP is our flagship product — a modern replacement for an 18-year-old legacy Windows application, built entirely with AI-assisted development.

The Problem

Manufacturing plants struggle with real-time visibility into production status. Legacy systems are outdated, WiFi connectivity is unreliable on shop floors, and operators need immediate alerts when issues arise.

The Solution

Andon-SSP provides real-time production visibility through RF-connected devices, reliable in challenging connectivity environments. Built with Blazor Server, Dataverse, SignalR, and Azure B2C for enterprise-grade multi-tenant architecture.

Technology Stack

  • Blazor Server for rich, responsive UI
  • Microsoft Dataverse for data platform
  • SignalR for real-time notifications
  • Azure B2C for multi-tenant authentication
  • RF-connected devices for reliable connectivity

Impact

Replacing 18-year-old legacy software still in active use across multiple manufacturing plants in eastern Quebec. Modern SaaS architecture enables faster feature delivery, better reliability, and scalability.

AI-Assisted Development

Built almost entirely with GitHub Copilot. AI assistance accelerated development velocity, improved code quality through generated tests, and enabled rapid iteration on complex multi-tenant scenarios.
