I build supply chain data products, automation, and decision tools that improve planning and operational performance.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm designing centralized timesheet and employee-data systems for Heartland Community Network, using relational SQL databases, APIs, validation logic, and React-based interfaces to replace fragmented municipal processes.
At Tesla, I built supplier-visibility tools and automated PCN/PPAP workflows with Power Automate, Python, and Excel, saving 10 hours per week and reducing manual processing by 40%. At Amazon, I built S3-to-Redshift ETL pipelines, analyzed last-mile operations, and developed Tableau reporting that helped reduce defect detection-to-resolution time by 30%.
I also build supply planning tools, simulations, and optimization models—from a control tower using Airflow, Docker, PostgreSQL, FastAPI, and React to safety-stock optimization across 9,000+ SKUs.
