Hi, I’m Finlay.

I build and run production systems. I got here through plant science, where electronics and software became tools for running experiments and improving how things worked.

Today I’m technical co-founder of Avenue Intelligence, where I build and operate an IoT analytics platform with deployments across Canada and the US.

I’m based in Meaford, Ontario, and work remotely. I’m open to staff-level platform or production engineering roles and consulting—from bioreactors and low-power electronics to analytics platforms and practical AI tools.

Background & sound

The background is an experiment too. Try another pattern, add some music, or let your microphone drive the spectrogram.
