At Atkore, I lead inventory optimization and replenishment planning for the Express/Select program across six Regional Service Centers, raising critical SKU in-stock performance from 12% to 98%.

My experience spans supply chain planning, production control, and operations across Atkore, Sanden International USA, ZTE USA, and Essilor of America. I’ve managed planners and global manufacturing networks, built Power BI decision-support solutions, optimized MRP parameters, and helped reduce annual expedited freight expense by approximately $500K.

I combine deep operations and supply chain experience with data analysis, business intelligence, SQL, Power BI, forecasting, and quantitative methods to turn complex business problems into practical decisions. I also work with Python and R and am pursuing a Ph.D. in Systems & Industrial Engineering, further developing my expertise in statistics, optimization, and quantitative analysis.
