Rodrigo Schirmacher

Operations manager with 20 years running fleet, yard and field logistics for one of Winnipeg's largest roofing companies: 35 vehicles, forty-plus field staff across twelve active sites, and roughly 100 purchase orders a month across 14 suppliers. A foreman reports directly, crews of two to five are on site, and subcontractor crews are scheduled alongside them. Self-taught builder who ships production software and runs it: the crew logging app, pickup verification, work-order pricing and GPS reporting this operation now depends on, plus roughly 100 scheduled automation jobs across own and client systems.

Builds with AI, then takes it out of the runtime; what ships is ordinary code, cron and API integrations with no model in the decision path.
