About Ricky Palacios
I make industrial AI work in the real world. I turn plant data into safer operations, better yields, and fewer surprises. Think predictive maintenance, process optimization, and decision support built with operators, not just for them.My edge is the blend of manufacturing operations and data science, with over 6 years of experience on both sides. I have to cut through the AI hype and know how the value shows up in uptime, energy, and quality.Now, I’m channeling that same customer-first, data approach into acquiring and operating a small business. I\'m sourcing a boring, cash-flowing company where I can be a responsible steward, grow people, and compound value in the long term.Open to introductions: Texas/Gulf Coast | Industry agnostic |$400K-$800K SDE.If you know an owner who cares about their team and wants a hands-on successor, let’s talk.
