Hi, I'm Ali.

During my tenure at C.R. Onsrud, I have led numerous initiatives, but my most significant achievement has been building a highly effective team. I spearheaded the migration of our legacy systems to AWS and implemented a CI/CD pipeline for both distributed and embedded systems, enabling scalable distribution and automated maintenance processes. These efforts contributed to a 30% reduction in operational expenses, a 400% increase in monthly active users, and a 500% expansion of our target market.

In this role, my primary objective was to lead the engineering team through a phase of rapid expansion. I implemented Statistical Process Control (SPC) and established a Quality Management System (QMS) to ensure consistency and accountability from engineering through to production. Additionally, I integrated an automated quoting system, which reduced response times by 70% and increased the quote win rate by 110%. These process enhancements, combined with improved engineering efficiency, resulted in a yield increase from 60% to 88%.

I founded Mammoth Machine and Design to address a recurring challenge I observed throughout my career: the industrial manufacturing sector often lacked sufficient support due to its traditional operating structure. Aside from new ventures and expansions, there was minimal investment in scaling operations. Our mission was to bring advanced engineering expertise—drawing from the rigor of racing and R&D—to the manufacturing industry without increasing operating expenses.

Over six years, I grew Mammoth from $300,000 to $2.6 million in annual revenue, establishing a new market in a traditionally underserved industry by leveraging automation at every stage. This strategy enabled us to sustain a 300% annual growth rate while implementing distributed IoT systems for monitoring and analyzing equipment performance. These innovations provided key insights to enhance throughput and uptime, resulting in a 150% increase in manufacturing uptime for our clients. Additionally, our proprietary automated consumption tracking system ensured consistent inventory management without the need for manual intervention.
