Industrial Intelligence
From HACCP compliance to throughput tuning, I speak plant, warehouse, and supply chain.
- Line balancing & production telemetry
- LOTO, GMP, safety playbooks
- Mechanical diagnostics & rapid repairs
Problem Solver for Hire
Evan Hyland builds systems that refuse to fail.
Marine Corps grit, manufacturing leadership, and AI-native software chops in one person. If it breaks, stalls, or "can't be done", I'm the one you call when stakes are high and time is short.
System Diagnostics
From factory floor to firmware, I hunt bottlenecks and build repeatable wins.

Who I Am
Marine mindset · Builder default
I learn the hard way so my clients don't have to.
From running artillery in the Marines to breaking production records and coding edge AI experiences, I chase problems across domains until they surrender. Manuals are starting points; the real work is finding leverage where others stop looking.

Signals from the Field
"Evan doesn't just fix the symptom. He teaches the team why it broke and leaves behind a process so it doesn't happen again."
"Our AI concept went from napkin idea to functioning prototype faster than any agency could promise. Straight shooter, zero fluff."
"When a machine is down and people are staring, you want someone calm who owns the room. That's Evan."
