15 years of solving real problems
NexGen Automations is a Canadian automation company based in Ontario, serving businesses across Canada. We design, build, and deliver complete automation projects: PLC and HMI control panels, AI software, and mobile and web apps, all under one roof.
In parallel, I continue to lead Connections Engineering Services, an international industrial automation engineering firm (a separate entity, operating overseas) that I founded in 2009 and have run for 15+ years. The firm specializes in Caterpillar gas generator electronic control systems, custom industrial PCs, and PLC + HMI control panels, serving major industrial groups including Lucky Group, Allied Engineering, Orient Engineering, Navina Group, Artistic Industries, and many more, delivered by a dedicated specialist team.
From 2018 onward, I expanded into software development: Python, FastAPI, TensorFlow, Flutter, and cloud-native tooling (Docker, Kubernetes), because I kept seeing problems that hardware alone couldn't solve. A generator that could tell you it was about to fail. A factory that could monitor itself from the owner's phone. A building that could think.
In 2026, I brought that combined experience to Canada and founded NexGen Automations. Our first Canadian deployment is an AI voice receptionist running in production at Humanity First Canada. Several additional AI and automation products are in active development for upcoming clients. Today we deliver complete automation projects most companies simply cannot offer, because they only know one side.
