Nicholas R.

I have over 15 years of experience bringing projects from concept to production — covering manufacturing automation, IT systems, compliance readiness, and custom software development. My career started with manufacturing, robotics, CNC automation and has grown to include app development, MSP service delivery, and GRC audit readiness. This mix lets me move easily between physical systems, digital workflows, and compliance frameworks — building solutions that work on the factory floor, inside IT environments, and in front of auditors. GRC & Audit Readiness • SOC 2 Type 1 & Type 2 prep • ISO 27001 implementation • CMMC readiness for DoD suppliers • NIST 800-171 / 800-53 gap assessments • Risk registers, policies, and evidence tracking systems MSP & IT Services • Microsoft 365 & Azure administration • Identity and access management (MFA, conditional access, Defender) • IT service workflows, ticketing, and monitoring • Project management and client-facing documentation Engineering & Automation Expertise • DFM for injection molded products • Injection mold design and product development • CNC programming (lathe, mill, Swiss) • Robotics integration (Fanuc, ABB, collaborative robots) • Automated cell design, production, commissioning • Conveyor & material handling systems App & Software Development • Web apps: PHP, React, Node.js, Tailwind, APIs • Desktop apps: Python, Streamlit, Electron.js • Mobile apps: React Native, Expo, Android/iOS builds • Workflow automation: Power Automate, Excel Online, SharePoint • Data & reporting: Power BI, dashboards, quoting/ROI calculators Typical Projects I Deliver • SOC 2 readiness roadmaps and evidence trackers • End-to-end order & incident management systems (PHP + Excel Online + Power Automate) • Risk registers and policy templates tailored to NIST/ISO • Quoting calculators (Excel/Python/Streamlit) with automated PDF output • Mobile apps for workforce reporting, tracking, and task management • Shop floor dashboards linking CNC / robotics data into KPIs • Custom API integrations to connect CRMs, ERPs, and production systems If you’re looking for someone who understands engineering, IT, and compliance, I can deliver practical, scalable solutions that combine automation depth with modern app development and GRC audit readiness. Let’s talk about your project, whether you need audit prep, MSP support, automation, or application development.
