Evidence before assumptions
Build the system model, test the failure conditions, and let the evidence narrow the cause.
DIAGNOSEAbout · Stingrey
Field judgment. Engineering discipline.
An owner-led technical practice shaped by aircraft maintenance, power generation, industrial manufacturing, themed entertainment, software development, and hands-on machine building.
THE FOUNDER
Rey Soto
Rey is a controls and automation specialist and U.S. Air Force veteran whose work has consistently lived where software meets machinery. His background spans C-17A aircraft maintenance, generator field service, multi-site industrial controls, ride and show systems, motion, embedded development, application development, and CNC equipment.
Stingrey was created for projects that benefit from that range but still need direct accountability. Clients work with the person evaluating the evidence, making technical decisions, and delivering the result.
Field foundation
- AIRCRAFTMaintenance discipline
Safety, documentation, fault isolation, and return-to-service thinking.
- POWERGenerator field service
Electrical testing, rotating equipment, commissioning, and outage execution.
- INDUSTRYPlant-floor controls
Modernization, drives, reliability, and support across multiple facilities.
- SHOWComplex motion systems
Ride, show, animatronic, and specialized equipment where repeatability matters.
WORKING PRINCIPLES
Understand it. Explain it. Improve it.
Good technical work should produce more than a temporary repair. It should create a clearer system, a supportable correction, and useful knowledge for the people who operate it next.
Whole-machine thinking
Follow the problem across software, controls, power, networks, feedback, and mechanics.
INTEGRATESupportable solutions
Favor corrections that technicians can understand, maintain, recover, and document.
STABILIZEClear communication
Translate technical detail into decisions that operators, managers, and specialists can use.
