AI + Engineering

How I use AI without lowering the bar

AI speeds up research, drafts, and test coverage—I apply manufacturing and software judgment so nothing ships until it is human-reviewed and production-ready.

Ambitious ideas move faster with AI. Quality still wins on judgment, testing, and review.

  • Ship weeks faster

    Automate research, first drafts, code scaffolding, and QA scenarios—so your team spends time on decisions that change outcomes.

  • Quality you can trust

    Every AI output is human-reviewed. Nothing goes live without acceptance criteria, edge-case checks, and a final pass from me—learned from years of QA at Mika and BCI.

  • Plant floor + product

    The same discipline applies on the line: Ignition by Inductive Automation for visibility, AI for repetitive work, operators for judgment.

How I apply AI on real projects

Practical, repeatable, and always under human control

  1. 1

    Listen

    Understand goals, users, and constraints—whether the environment is a React codebase or an extrusion line with SCADA.

  2. 2

    Augment

    Use AI to explore options, draft solutions, map edge cases, and stress-test flows—then narrow to what actually ships.

  3. 3

    Deliver

    Refine, validate, and release work you can demo with confidence—on time, reviewed, and ready for production.

Where AI meets production discipline

Tap a scenario—challenge, AI boost, and measured result

The challenge

A chatbot concept only matters if it survives real users, real data, and real deploys—not a weekend demo.

How AI helps

AI accelerated prompt design, edge-case mapping, and implementation scaffolding across Next.js, Go, and PostgreSQL—while I owned architecture, review, and the Jenkins + Docker pipeline.

What you get

A featured case study with containerized services, durable storage, and UI polish—built with the same retention-focused quality mindset from BCI (15% uplift on products I helped ship).

About

About me

From BCI Innovation Labs to Dajcor Aluminum—I build software and production systems with the same standard: quality first, then speed.

I approach every project the way I approach the production floor: understand the constraint, protect quality, and make sure the result holds up under real use. At BCI Innovation Labs in London, Ontario, I grew from junior frontend developer to full-stack engineer (Sep 2019 – Jul 2023)—shipping React, TypeScript, WordPress, and Go products with outcomes that included 30% higher engagement, 20% faster page loads, and 15% better retention. Today I am Production Supervisor at Dajcor Aluminum in Chatham, supervising aluminum extrusion operations while partnering with IT on Ignition by Inductive Automation, SCADA visibility, and AI-assisted automations that reduce manual work on the line. Whether the deliverable is a Next.js app, a Go API, or a plant-floor dashboard, I am the engineer who understands both the pull request and the production schedule.

TESTIMONIALS

Bartlomiej Mika

I have hired Juby as a contract full-stack developer for number of my projects and the results have been spectacular! The first line of work involved writing a prototype frontend web-app using React.js. He accomplished it in a short amount of time with a high quality fully responsive build. When our team presented Juby’s work to the client, the client became very pleased. He demonstrated understanding for HTML, CSS, React.js and Bootstrap library. The second major line of work was in quality assurance. Juby demonstrated professionalism and dedication to finding bugs, reporting them and assisting the development team with solutions; furthermore, during production launch days, Juby spend all nighters alongside the development team assisting in any way that he could. Quite simply Juby was there when you needed him the most and has demonstrated he can work as a team player. The third major line of work was his promotion to junior developer. After his success with his quality assurance role, he was given a client and a WordPress site to develop from scratch. Juby participated in the user story workshop sessions, the design phase, the communication with the client (project management) and worked on the implementation of the site. His work is top notch and he was excellent to work with. I would highly recommend Juby for any quality assurance or development role in your organization!
