About Aaron Hodgkins

Currently IT and Systems Admin at Martech Research in Bishopville, SC. I’m also a chemist with leadership experience in lab environments and a growing track record in system development, automation, and security research. My work centers on applying practical, high-impact technology to complex scientific and operational problems—whether that’s building ERP modules in Odoo or prototyping with NVIDIA hardware.I manage and develop the full Odoo ecosystem for Martech, working actively in Odoo 19 after attending the release event. My role covers end-to-end system setup, configuration, and daily administration across manufacturing, inventory, QC, purchasing, sales, accounting links, and multi-warehouse operations. I maintain and refine custom modules, rebuild legacy workflows, and fix structural issues when systems need to scale or become unstable. My focus is ensuring Odoo matches real business operations—keeping data clean, processes efficient, and the platform reliable across all departments.

   I own the full Odoo ERP ecosystem. I manage end-to-end implementation, configuration, custom module development, and daily administration across manufacturing, multi-warehouse inventory, quality control, purchasing, sales, and accounting integrations.With a chemistry foundation and prior lab leadership, I align scientific and operational needs with scalable, reliable systems. This ensures precise lot/serial traceability, QC workflows, batch consistency, and compliance in enzymatic processes, fermentation, spray drying, and formulation work while resolving legacy issues and protecting data integrity.Proficient in Odoo 19 (following release event attendance), I apply its enhanced manufacturing, predictive procurement, quality control, and shop-floor tools to boost efficiency. I also explore automation prototyping (including NVIDIA hardware for AI-driven applications such as predictive maintenance or QC optimization) and ERP security hardening for R&D and production data protection.Passionate about practical technology in regulated manufacturing. Open to connecting on Odoo implementations, ERP in food/nutrition, systems scaling, or science-tech intersections.
