I have formulated and solved optimization models (MILP, EOQ, meta-heuristics) for complex systems such as last-mile delivery, inventory optimization, and supply chain decision-making. I enjoy bridging the gap between theory, engineering, and real-world impact.I am motivated by opportunities where I can lead teams, drive data-driven decisions, and build intelligent systems that create measurable business value in domains such as AI, supply chain, and smart infrastructure.
