@jakepotts

I’m a logistics and data analyst using Excel, R, and Python to turn operations data into smarter decisions.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can use analytics and modeling to improve real operations, build forecasting/reporting that leaders trust, and keep growing with a team that values clear metrics, experimentation, and data-driven decisions.

I’m a Logistics Operations Analyst who combines hands-on operations analysis with data modeling to improve delivery efficiency and decision-making. At FedEx Ground, I optimize driver routes and use operational data to balance mileage, package volume, delivery efficiency, and vehicle capacity.

I also build route planning models and analyze distribution, mileage trends, and delivery metrics to support forecasting and driver compensation analysis. Previously, as a Research Analyst at Stratesis, I used online databases and industry reports to support fundraising efforts that resulted in a $1.5M investment commitment.

Earlier in my career, I managed and analyzed patient data for 80+ individuals at Hunter Hollow Rehab Center, creating reporting processes and recommending efficiencies to support rehabilitation operations. I bring the same analytical rigor to projects like Kaggle election voting pattern analysis and forest cover type prediction, applying statistical modeling, regression analysis, and classification models in R.
