Shaun Patrick Stewart: Resume
Operations & Growth Leader · Turnaround · Scaling · Automation · Business Development · AI Agent Harness & Autonomous Engineering
Orlando, Florida · contact@shaunpatrickstewart.com · shaunpatrickstewart.com
Summary
Operations and growth leader with 20+ years turning chaotic, unprofitable manufacturing and fabrication operations into automated, high-output, high-margin businesses. Scaled production two to three times while cutting rework about 70 percent, restored a company from bankruptcy to sustained profit, and built two ventures from zero to seven figures by leading both operations and the sales teams behind the growth. Hands-on across the full value chain: CNC programming, 2D CAD, production, installation, and P&L ownership. Now applies that automation work to AI: built a custom AI agent harness and uses it to build software and systems from scratch.
Highlights
- 2–3× production scaling to record weekly volumes
- Bankruptcy-to-profitability turnaround
- ~70% rework reduction
- Two companies built from zero to seven figures
- ~$11M/yr operation managed
