I have extensive experience in automating reports and dashboards, coding/programming, building simulation & optimization models, and applying supply chain analytics that provide strategic advantage to maximize total supply chain profits.Used numerous simulation and optimization software packages to make data driven decisions. Built various types of custom in-house tools, applications, and simulation & optimization models that include the following: manufacturing, inventory, forecasting, pack size, transportation, and supply chain network optimization.Utilizing my unique skills, I have identified and saved companies over $100M, and have saved tens of thousands of hours in reporting and analysis by taking data in many different formats and structures, and creating automated reports & dashboards, and building advanced simulation & optimization models that analyzed transportation, forecasting, inventory, spend, sales, promotion, and manufacturing datasets.Experienced training, mentoring, and teaching interns/co-ops, analysts, and managers by providing tutorials and creating hands-on training sessions, templates, videos, and SOPs.I enjoy coaching and mentoring - helped veterans, friends, and colleagues get jobs or promotions at Amazon, Coke, Home Depot, Verizon, and more!For fun I teach VBA, Alteryx, Python, and Power BI!
