I build analytics, automation, and customer data solutions for retail, logistics, and loyalty programs.
What I'm looking for
I've led analytics and AI automation requirements for ALSAC St. Jude through Vaco, translating enterprise business needs into technical requirements, SQL queries, Tableau dashboards, UAT criteria, and training materials.
At J.B. Hunt, I led migration of GA4, Firebase, SQL Server, and Databricks data into Google Cloud and BigQuery for Power BI conversion supporting retail final-mile programs. I also built process models that reduced manual data entry by 30% and delivered clickstream and customer behavior analytics.
My work spans FedEx, Varsity Spirit, Hilton, American Home Shield, and First Tennessee Bank, covering Salesforce, loyalty programs, campaign operations, CRM data, web tracking, reporting, and cross-functional project delivery.
