Experience
Senior Applied Scientist
Nov 2024 — Present
AI in supply chain operations: As a manager and tech lead, I guided a team building a Supplier Communications Agent for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain. This AI agent reads and responds to supplier emails about purchase orders and deliveries, automating a traditionally manual communication process. My team developed a natural language understanding model to interpret email intents (order confirmation, delay notification, etc.) and integrated it with D365 workflows to send appropriate replies or trigger updates.Impact on efficiency: The agent, released in preview in early 2025 (Wave 1), can handle a large volume of routine supplier inquiries, reducing response time from days to hours in pilot deployments. By automating these communications, procurement professionals can focus on complex negotiations while the AI handles standard queries. Early customer feedback highlighted significant time savings and improved supplier satisfaction. Microsoft positioned this feature as a key AI addition in the Supply Chain product suite.
