What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to apply data science and analytics to procurement, supply chain, inventory, and demand-planning decisions, translating operational data into practical predictive insights.

I've built demand forecasting, procurement spend analysis, and predictive-modeling workflows that turn operational data into decision-ready insights. Using Python and SQL, I clean and structure datasets, assess data quality, engineer features, and communicate findings through dashboards and visualizations.

My procurement and store management experience grounds my analysis in purchasing, inventory availability, supplier performance, and operational efficiency. I connect demand patterns, stock risks, spending, and supplier trends to practical inventory, replenishment, and sourcing decisions.
