At MID-DAY SQUARES, I transformed e-commerce fulfillment by relocating the fulfillment center and consolidating carrier vendors. The changes cut per-order shipping costs by 44% and delivered $720,000 USD in annual savings.

I also developed an AI-driven inbound automation platform with a San Francisco dev team and upgraded warehouse storage to integrated racking systems, increasing capacity from 80 to 186 pallets. I manage logistics for D2C and retail distribution, including cross-border food shipments and 3PL warehouse contracts.

Previously, at BRECON FOODS, I managed logistics across business lines and more than 100 global suppliers, maintaining a 30% minimum profit margin across 200+ monthly import/export orders. Across my roles, I’ve worked in international trade compliance, cold-chain logistics, and supply chain operations in food, industrial, and packaging sectors.
