Blueprint to
Production Line
I'm Vishal Patel — a mechanical engineer and program manager with 5+ years launching manufacturing programs, now leading water-filtration programs at Luminor Environmental. And when a process needs better software, I write it myself.
Two disciplines, one way of thinking.
I'm a mechanical engineer by training and a program manager by trade. Over 5+ years in automotive manufacturing at Linamar I went from designing automation cells on the floor to launching a fully automated engine-block line, then running the programs that turn engineering plans into shipped product.
Today I lead programs at Luminor Environmental, bringing that same discipline to water-filtration manufacturing — managing timelines, financials, and cross-functional teams from concept to production.
The thing that sets me apart: I also write software. PHP, Node, C#, Python — I've built the tools that take a process paperless and make a team faster. I've sharpened that edge with a Master's in Automation & Smart Systems from McMaster.
At a glance
From the floor to the program.
A toolkit across the whole pipeline.
From CAD models and PFMEAs to production code and servers — the range is the point.
Off the clock, I build.
Side projects that scratch an itch — crypto tooling, public-data utilities, and hardware-backed shop software.
There's an art side too.
When I'm not on a line or in a terminal, I make things for the fun of it. Take a look at the gallery.
Let's build something.
A program, a role, a collaboration, or just a question — I read everything.
