Alan Gaudet

Internal P&G team member (6+ years; promoted to Team Second in 2025) building production-grade systems and tools in Rust, Python, and Kotlin on my own time. IWS Autonomous Maintenance and Daily Management Systems on the plant floor, paired with a portfolio of shipped engineering projects.

01 Experience

Team Second, Manufacturing Operations

Procter & Gamble · Belleville, ON

Sept 2019 – Present

Promoted from Manufacturing Technician (2019–2025) to Team Second (2025).

  • Equipment owner under IWS Autonomous Maintenance: CIL (Clean-Inspect-Lubricate) routes, defect tagging, and condition-based monitoring across pneumatic and hydraulic systems. Currently acting team lead during team leader's leave.
  • Drive AM standards on owned equipment, nearly eliminating targeted stops through root-cause analysis and centreline management.
  • Run Daily Management System (DMS) routines on shift: tier-1 board reviews, shift handoffs, loss tracking, and upward escalation to maintenance and engineering.
  • Zero safety incidents on shift in the last year. Author SOPs adopted on shift; train new team members on AM standards and equipment-specific procedures.
  • Prior technician tenure built deep operational knowledge of P&G IWS systems and Allen-Bradley PLC control stacks, the foundation under the industrial-AI work (see Rung Reader).

Team Manager

HGS Canada Inc. · Belleville, ON

2013 – Sept 2019

Led a team of 20 agents for 6+ years.

  • Consistently top-quartile for CSAT, first-contact resolution, and QA.
  • Team Manager of the Month for performance multiple times during tenure.
  • Built Excel tracking tools adopted by the broader team.

Earlier

Rogers Communications · Convergys

2006 – 2012

Rogers Non-Live Consultant, Toronto (2008–2012): top 10% on all targets, led department-wide process-improvement initiatives. Convergys Associate Trainer, Belleville (2006–2008): delivered training for 15–25-person new-hire cohorts.

02 Selected Projects

supply-chain-agents

Three specialist agents coordinating through a typed LangGraph state machine with human-in-the-loop approval.

  • Unit + real-LLM integration tests gating every merge in CI; REST API with SSE streaming.
  • Self-hosted Langfuse v4 Docker Compose stack (web, worker, Postgres, ClickHouse, Redis, MinIO).
  • Bicep IaC patterns modelling Container Apps + ACR deployment.
  • Two-tier output guardrails: regex hard-block + LLM judge with hard timeout, fail-open on every error path.

rung-reader

AI-powered Allen-Bradley PLC ladder logic troubleshooter. Pure-function L5X walker; LLM only narrates.

  • Unit + integration test suite gating every merge. On-premise deployment, zero cloud dependencies.
  • Graceful degradation without LLM, PLC, or Redis. Pure-function L5X walker; LLM only narrates.
  • Mock-swappable pycomm3 driver for full CI without real hardware.
  • arq + Redis async worker for proactive anomaly detection on live tag streams.

irontide

From-scratch Rust BitTorrent engine that reached libtorrent-class parity, published to crates.io and now daily-driven as my torrent client.

  • BitTorrent v1 + v2 with DHT, PEX, uTP, and MSE/PE; hand-rolled wire protocol and Merkle verification.
  • Multi-crate workspace with unit, integration, and property tests; clippy-clean and lint-strict in CI.
  • Async actor architecture on tokio select! loops with backpressure and zero-copy disk I/O.
  • Engine library split from a separate gui/cli/web client; deterministic simulation runtime for concurrency tests.

avatarr

Single-binary Rust media manager unifying Sonarr and Radarr behind one core, driven by a desktop app, a web UI, and a CLI.

  • One avatarr-core behind three surfaces (Slint desktop, React web, headless CLI) over a shared SQLite database and scheduler.
  • SQLite migrations content-addressed and sha256-pinned; forward-fix only, never edited in place.
  • Release-name parser extracted to its own crate and published to crates.io.

inboxly

Native Rust desktop email client that rebuilds Google Inbox's bundles, snoozing, and reminders on real IMAP and SMTP.

  • OAuth2 against Gmail and Outlook with token refresh; JWZ threading with rule-layered bundling.
  • Untrusted HTML sanitised before rendering; links rewritten through a sentinel scheme.
  • State-machine Dioxus UI with signal-split rendering; pure-Rust PDF text and image OCR for attachments.

cobweb

Production HTTP/JSON API written entirely in GnuCOBOL, live on the public internet behind Traefik.

  • socat forks one short-lived COBOL process per request; COBOL parses HTTP, routes, and emits JSON by hand.
  • Correct HTTP error semantics with structured JSON responses for 400, 404, 405, and 413.
  • Deployed as a rootless Podman container behind Traefik with wildcard TLS and a systemd user unit.

debt-tracker

Offline-first Android debt tracker published on Google Play. Room persistence, automatic backups, ten Material 3 themes.

  • Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, MVVM with a Repository layer; single-activity, enum-routed navigation.
  • Room with atomic @Transaction writes; Snapper-style backup retention to SAF storage that survives uninstall.
  • Recurring charges with startup backfill; published with release signing and ProGuard.
