I spent my career inside technical manufacturing — first as a systems engineer building complex systems, then in product marketing supporting field teams, training sales organizations, and marketing $80 million product portfolios. I've lived the operational problems that slow companies down: disconnected tools, manual handoffs, information buried in spreadsheets and inboxes. I started Covalent Systems to bring modern automation and AI to the companies that need it most. The companies I work with aren't looking for flashy tech. They need things that work, integrate with what they already have, and make their people's lives easier.
