My name is Jesse Zipf, founder of ForgeWorx Automation. With over 15 years of experience across the medical, industrial, and safety sectors, I provide the high-level engineering of a Tier-1 firm with the agility and cost-efficiency of a dedicated consultant. From Penn State roots to real-world installations, I specialize in bridging the gap between a conceptual "napkin sketch" and a fully functioning production floor. Whether you need a critical PLC bug fixed today or a ground-up robotic cell designed for next year, I deliver industrial-grade solutions without the corporate overhead. Core Competencies: PLC Programming & Troubleshooting: Expert-level logic for complex manufacturing. Full System Design: Electrical, mechanical, and control systems from scratch. CAD & Prototyping: Single-part modeling to massive assembly designs in SolidWorks. Robotics Integration: Programming and hardware implementation. Consulting: Strategic guidance for DIY teams needing professional validation. I don’t just write code; I build systems that work. Let’s discuss your project and get your facility running at peak efficiency.

TLDR: I’m a mechanical engineer obsessed with automating real-world systems for efficiency and reliability—especially where AI and mechanics intersect. With over two years of hands-on experience building, integrating, and optimizing automation systems, I help businesses replace slow, outdated processes with robust, AI-powered workflows. More info about me: My name’s Elijah, and I design and implement automation systems that actually work in the field—not just on paper. My background is in mechanical engineering, with a deep understanding of both physical and digital systems. I’ve spent the last couple of years building and maintaining automations for everything from equipment scheduling to operational reporting, API-driven data flows, and custom workflow logic. What sets me apart? I don’t just “connect the dots” between tools—I break down the actual mechanical and business process, find the bottlenecks, and rebuild them for maximum throughput and minimum manual intervention. I know what it’s like to chase a process that never quite works the way it should, and I know how to fix it. Here’s what I focus on: AI-Driven Automation: Designing and deploying n8n, Make, and custom code automations that cut out repetitive tasks, handle complex decision logic, and make your operations genuinely efficient. Systems Integration: Connecting everything—hardware, software, spreadsheets, APIs—so your information flows where it needs to, without data loss or duplication. Shop-Floor to Office: Bridging the gap between mechanical systems and digital operations, from equipment monitoring to report generation. Workflow Optimization: No-nonsense process mapping and automation that eliminates waste, saves time, and increases reliability. Real Solutions, No Hype: I care about what actually works and makes a difference. If it’s not going to save time, reduce errors, or improve results, I’ll tell you straight. If you want to talk shop or need help cutting inefficiency out of your operations, reach out. I won’t waste your time.

I have over 15 years of experience bringing projects from concept to production — covering manufacturing automation, IT systems, compliance readiness, and custom software development. My career started with manufacturing, robotics, CNC automation and has grown to include app development, MSP service delivery, and GRC audit readiness. This mix lets me move easily between physical systems, digital workflows, and compliance frameworks — building solutions that work on the factory floor, inside IT environments, and in front of auditors.
