Recalled materials processing at scale

Innovation

The Problem

Recalled materials processing depended on manual identification: slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale into a reliable revenue stream.

The System

A patented image recognition and geocoding validation system, delivered through a mobile verification workflow, confirms recalled materials at the point of intake. Built during my tenure as CIO at Rebuilders Automotive Supply, this was production machine learning shipped inside a real operation, years before the current AI wave.

The Outcome

The system enabled a $15M+ sales channel by making recalled materials processing accurate enough to productize. It is the same discipline I now apply to AI implementation engagements: workflow before model, review where risk lives, and outputs people can act on.
