Chad VanAntwerp

I’m a Data Engineer with 7 years at Tesla driving manufacturing, supply-chain, and planning systems. I build SQL Server, Python, and Airflow data pipelines for serialized inventory reconciliation, MRP integration, governed forecast access, and global operational analytics.

I enable automated production-plan ingestion and MRP submission pipelines supporting $10B–$15B annual material spend, reducing manual upload effort by 60 minutes per upload across up to 20 approved plans/week. I also deliver global supply-demand reporting with 5–10 minute ETL runtime and intraday refreshes for 50–100 monthly users.

I’ve expanded serialized inventory logic across tens of millions of records, reconciling consumed, duplicated, in-transit, quarantined, and quality-restricted inventory. I automate reconciliation checks and alerts to detect cross-system mismatches, improve data consistency, and prevent downstream planning errors, backed by multi-tiered inventory snapshotting for auditability.

I own serialized inventory reconciliation logic and design standardized schemas and modular pipelines to onboard new factories, product lines, and teams in under a day. Earlier, I supported operations control and ISO 9001:2008 compliance, which shaped how I approach governance, validation, and dependable execution.
