What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote opportunities where I can improve operations, supply chain performance, HSE compliance, data quality, AI evaluation, or quality assurance through KPI-driven analysis, process improvement, and practical team leadership.

At SMC Brands, I manage warehouse, distribution, fleet, and high-value inventory operations for a multidisciplinary team of approximately 50 employees. I improved inventory accuracy from approximately 20% to 90%, reduced warehouse and transit damages, strengthened reporting, and reduced overtime through improved attendance controls.

I've also led warehouse, HSE, compliance, audit, incident investigation, and KPI reporting work at Maluti Mountain Brewery and Letseng Diamonds Mine. I'm expanding my data analytics, AI evaluation, data annotation, and quality assurance capabilities for remote operations, supply chain, analytics, HSE, AI training, and quality-focused opportunities.
