The not-so-secret resume
Tony Sharon is an AI systems integrator, fabricator, and the entire staff of Pathfinder Prototyping. He came up through CNC machining and hardware development, crossed into AI infrastructure, and now ships software at a pace that makes people ask what the team size is. The team size is one.
Most AI people have never held a finished part. Most shop people have never shipped software. Tony has run Hurco and Haas machines, wired LED signage, poured resin, and also architected RAG pipelines and custom MCP servers. The gap between atoms and bits is his home address.
One Stream Deck plugin became fourteen because he noticed the engine underneath was specific to nothing. Build one thing well, extract the pattern, reuse it relentlessly. That is the whole method, and it works on plugins, pipelines, and businesses alike.
Fourteen products, a company website, a business plan with SBA-ready financials, and a stack of commissioned physical builds. All from one bench, in months, documented in public. AI is the multiplier; the judgment steering it is the product.
Every claim on this page has a marketplace listing, a repository, or a finished object you can hold. A sample:
Fourteen Stream Deck plugins for professional software: CAD, PCB design, laser control, 3D printing, and creative tools. Seven live on the Elgato Marketplace, more in review. One shared keystroke engine underneath, forked per application.
A terminal orchestrator MCP server that gives AI agents a real PTY rendered in an Electron window: multi-tab, live output, interactive apps. Built because agents that can see what they broke fix it faster.
25,434 photos renamed by a 4B vision model running on his own GPU, pipelined to 61 images a minute. Also: a 90-icon generation pipeline driving ComfyUI and FLUX over raw HTTP with zero pip dependencies, and a phone-automation MCP that cleaned 73 junk threads off a real handset.
A 15-tool UI-automation MCP server that lets agents drive any Windows desktop application: find elements, click, type, read state. The connective tissue for automating software that was never meant to be automated.
Commissioned signage and art builds: an eight-layer bike shop sign combining laser-cut backing, hand-painted detail, embedded resin-printed logo, and hidden LED neon. Five processes, one piece, sequenced so no layer ruins the one before it.
Pathfinder Prototyping itself: brand identity, SBA-ready financial models, compliance-aware security strategy, and the site you probably arrived from. Planned, built, and operated by the same person who writes the code.
Thirty-seven certificates in eleven months, earned while shipping everything above. Average grade across the stack: 94 percent, with sixteen perfect scores. Grouped by what they make him dangerous at.
Why it matters: certified on the exact stack his MCP servers and agent workflows run on, by the company that builds it. When he wires an agent into your tooling, the design patterns come from the source.
Why it matters: sixteen courses deep, from transformer internals and fine-tuning to RAG agents. He knows what happens inside the model, which is the difference between a demo and a system.
Why it matters: scripting, version control, and systems troubleshooting at professional grade. This is the glue layer that turns clever one-off fixes into pipelines that run every day without him watching.
Why it matters: formal methodology across every major additive process, layered on years at the machine. Theory and calluses in the same hands means the first physical iteration is already a good one.
Why it matters: the academic side of the trade he came up in. Toolpath thinking and process control to back the hands-on years on Hurco and Haas machines.
Why it matters: defense-grade security hygiene as the baseline. Client data, credentials, and internal systems get handled like they matter, because they do.
