Currently building with
TypeScript, React and Next.js for web interfaces, with Python for data collection and scripting.
Antonio Arjona / Industrial technology & software / Germany
I build software for problems I know from the factory floor.
I’m Antonio, based in Germany. I’ve spent more than 20 years in automotive manufacturing, working on supplier qualification, production processes and components. Today, I also build software to explore better ways of working with that information.
This is where I share what I’m building and learning: web applications for supplier operations, and design studies in electronics and automation.
Exploring
Full-Stack development, DevOps, embedded systems and industrial communication.
Industrial background
Automotive manufacturing, supplier qualification, production processes, quality and lighting electronics.
Selected work
Questions from industry. Projects I’m working on.
A working portfolio application and two original concept designs exploring electronics and shopfloor workflows.
Working portfolio app
Supplier Risk Board
Bringing supplier issues, risk priorities and next actions into one view. A working frontend portfolio app using simulated manufacturing data.
Concept design
CAN Sensor Node
An electronics concept for a compact sensor acquisition module, from analogue inputs and CAN messages to a browser-based diagnostic view.
Concept design
Shopfloor Downtime Workflow
An automation concept connecting machine events with operator explanations and a shift-review interface, using a fictional production cell.
About
A career built around how things work.
My route into software started with chemistry and a career in automotive manufacturing, lighting development and supplier qualification. That background shapes the questions I bring to software: what information is missing, who needs it, and how can a tool make the next decision clearer?
I also enjoy making things by hand, electronics and creative technology. I am interested in the details that connect an idea to something useful.
More about my background →Writing
Thinking through technology.
I use writing to think through software, electronics and industrial systems: what I’ve tried, what I’m investigating and what I still need to understand. You can find my notes here and on Programmable.
