I didn't start in supply chain. I started by solving business problems with data. Over the last 5+ years, I've learned that the best analytics don't just create dashboards they help teams make faster, better decisions. I've worked across procurement, logistics, inventory planning, and supply chain finance, partnering with cross-functional teams to improve visibility, reduce costs, and optimize operations. Today, I build solutions using Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, SAP IBP, and Oracle ERP to turn complex operational data into actionable insights. One lesson has stayed with me: great analysts don't just report what happened they help teams decide what to do next. Most of my work has been focused on ownership, automation, and delivering measurable business outcomes that support agile decision-making. One project I'm especially proud of: I partnered with planning and logistics teams to align SAP IBP demand forecasts with transportation capacity, reducing expedited shipments from 22% to 3% while improving fulfillment efficiency. I'm excited to connect with professionals building modern, data-driven supply chains across the US from startups to global enterprises. What supply chain or analytics trend do you think will have the biggest impact over the next few years? #hiring #softwareengineer #techjobs #USA #supplychain #dataanalytics #powerbi
