"Tracking the trends that shape how our world moves — and building the tools that move it smarter."
Supply chain professional turned AI strategist. I've managed $100M+ in procurement, built analytics tools used by hundreds of operators, and now I'm at NYU Stern studying Business Analytics & AI — writing about it all along the way.

About Me
Good Morning, Good Evening, and Good Night —
I started in supply chain the hands-on way: on warehouse floors at Amazon, in freight brokerage negotiating carrier rates, and managing $100M+ in procurement across five states. Along the way I kept noticing the same thing — the biggest wins never came from working harder, they came from seeing the data differently.
That's what pulled me toward AI. Today I'm pursuing my MS in Business Analytics & AI at NYU Stern, working at the intersection of procurement and machine intelligence at Humana, and publishing monthly deep-dives on supply chains, freight markets, and global economics — read by 25,000+ people. The journals are where the operator's instinct meets the analyst's toolkit.
The Journey
Where it started — learning how goods, money, and information actually move through the world.
First professional internship — three months learning how a world-class institution runs its operations from the inside.
Built an AWS QuickSight BI tool tracking pick-rate KPIs — adopted company-wide, supporting 300+ associates. Led a process improvement project that lifted pick rates 30%.
$21K annual savingsFreight brokerage in the trenches — sourcing carriers, negotiating rates across the Northeast and Southeast, and building Power BI dashboards for real-time performance.
$407K revenue generatedOwned inventory and supply chain planning for five high-demand state markets — demand forecasting, safety stock, vendor negotiation, and root cause analysis on Microsoft Dynamics ERP.
$100M+ procurementFirst step into AI consulting — built LLM-powered procurement analytics pipelines and a predictive spend model, turning generative AI into executive-ready insight.
The pivot, formalized. SQL, Python, R, optimization, big data, and decision models — pointed squarely at AI strategy for operations.
Expected May 2027Bringing it together — automating procurement workflows with AI-enabled orchestration, contract analytics, and predictive sourcing insights for enterprise leadership.
