At Kroger Supply Chain Analytics, I built a SQL-based backhaul analysis tool that matched store delivery empty legs to supplier freight RFPs, with DAT market-rate benchmarking and a Power BI dashboard to support brokerage negotiations.

I also rebuilt a consultant-created Alteryx workflow as six PySpark notebooks, combining seven sources and reducing a three-day manual process to 40 minutes. At Kroger Manufacturing Riverside Creamery, I used bootstrap simulation and G-chart monitoring to address city-water contamination that standard testing had missed; complaints fell from 8 to 1 over five months.

My work has centered on cleaning and reconciling operational data, investigating discrepancies, and improving reporting pipelines. I use Excel, SQL, Python, Power BI, and Databricks, and hold an MS in Statistics, an MBA, and Microsoft Certified: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate certification.
