About

I own inventory operations for a multi-warehouse e-commerce business, where I build the systems that keep stock accurate and margins visible — reconciling data across our inventory management, storefront, and fulfillment platforms and turning it into reporting people can actually act on. My background is in data and enterprise systems. I’ve worked as an Oracle Cloud Financials SME across the Supplier and Customer modules, built production ML and predictive analytics in Dataiku, and delivered reporting through Tableau and Crystal Reports. SQL is my default tool for getting at the questions spreadsheets can’t answer, and I lean on Python to automate the tedious parts of catalog and inventory work. What ties it together is a focus on operational truth: making sure the numbers a business runs on are correct, current, and trustworthy. I’m most useful where messy data, disconnected systems, and real operational stakes intersect.
