Process Control
Brett Austin is a licensed Tool and Die Maker and Georgian College alumnus, graduating in 2004 and 2005. His career began on primarily manual machines in various job-shop and production environments. After completing an apprenticeship in 2008, he transitioned to roles programming and operating various CNC machines including multi-spindle lathes and 5-axis mills, gaining extensive experience servicing automotive, aerospace, automation, pharmaceutical, food, gauge and power generation industries.
In 2017, Brett began teaching as a part-time instructor at Georgian College in; Mechanical Technician Precision Skills, Mechanical Engineering Technologist, as well as Mechatronics programs. Course subjects including CNC programming, cutting tool theory/strategy, machine shop applications, integration of manufacturing process’s as well as CAD design and programming using CAM
In 2018 Brett began training exemplary students for competition in the annual Skills Ontario and Skills Canada CNC milling and turning competitions. In 2023 Brett was appointed by Skills Ontario as the CNC machining competition’s co-chair.
In 2019, Brett shifted from the shop floor to management roles at a local Tier 1 automotive mold and production shop, focusing on people and policy management to drive efficiency and profitability. In 2020, Brett founded "Millar Mechanical," a successful machine shop with a growing customer base. While transitioning to full-time teaching in 2023, became one of three founding partners in the modern machine shop, Coldwater Precision Components.

Zach Moczkodan
• Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Applications
• Systems Integration & Infrastructure Optimization
• Cyber Security and IT
• Cloud & Scalable Data Platforms
Zach Moczkodan is a Computer Engineering graduate of the Royal Military College of Canada, class of 2026. He leads Coldwater Precision Components' cyber security and information systems practice alongside his business development role, working at the intersection of advanced computing, intelligent systems and industrial technology.
His expertise spans network defence, penetration testing, security assessment and system hardening, from the network and infrastructure level through to the operating system itself. That breadth is grounded in formal technical research. He is a published author on the application of machine learning to intrusion detection systems, and his final-year capstone project, recognized as the top Computer Engineering capstone in his graduating class, implemented a kernel-mode filter driver for host-based intrusion detection, monitoring activity at a level of the operating system below where most malicious software operates.
Zach has trained on both sides of the problem. He served on the blue team during RMC CyberX 2026, a high-fidelity exercise in which student defenders operate live networks against professional red teams, where his team placed first. He has also served as team lead for offensive cyber operations on the top-performing offensive team. Understanding how an attacker chooses targets and sequences an intrusion is what separates a useful assessment from a checklist.
With both technical training and hands-on experience in manufacturing environments, Zach translates advanced technology into operational improvement: resilient systems that reduce downtime, protect intellectual property, and turn shop floor data into decisions.
