I review them for accuracy, but they remain provisional and may evolve as I learn.</em></p> <p><a href="https://github.com/troyscott/markforge">MarkForge is an open-source, local document-to-Markdown pipeline</a> designed to run on a portable Apple Silicon MacBook Air as well as Windows systems with NVIDIA acceleration. It converts PDFs and Office documents into structured Markdown, extracted images, and manifests that record how the work was performed.</p>https://troyscott.ca/about/Mon, 17 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://troyscott.ca/about/<p>I work at the intersection of technology, operations, and decision-making. My focus is turning complex business requirements into systems that people can understand, trust, and use.</p> <p>My experience spans intelligent automation, full-stack application development, analytics, and data engineering in manufacturing and energy environments. That includes resource forecasting and planning applications, agentic AI prototypes, and data pipelines connecting financial and operational systems.</p> <h2 id="how-i-approach-the-work">How I approach the work</h2> <p>I start with the operating decision—not the technology. The goal is to understand what must improve, what evidence people need, and how a solution fits into the way work actually happens.</p>
