DIGITAL TWIN & SIMULATION
Outbound Logistics Digital Twin
Built a FlexSim digital twin of Tesla's outbound vehicle yard handling 500–3,000 vehicles/day, with custom C++ FlexScript behaviors to test operational changes risk-free before rollout.
SUPPLY CHAIN. PROCUREMENT. SYSTEMS THINKING.
Turning fragmented supply chains into systems people trust.
I lead end-to-end supply planning and procurement initiatives — from digital twin simulation to supplier strategy — turning operational complexity into measurable savings.
OVERVIEW
Building resilient, data-driven supply chains under real-world constraints.
My work sits at the intersection of procurement, planning, and analytics. I lead initiatives end to end — from diagnosing root-cause supply risk, to negotiating supplier terms, to building the dashboards that keep leadership ahead of it.
I care about making the number right before making it pretty. A forecast nobody trusts is worse than no forecast at all. For complex, cross-functional problems, progress comes from relationships with suppliers and stakeholders as much as it does from the model itself.
CURRENT LENS
Cross-functional supply planning close to production and procurement.
CORE STRENGTH
Turning fragmented sourcing and inventory data into decisions leadership trusts.
OPERATING STYLE
Root-cause rigor paired with hands-on supplier and stakeholder alignment.
FOCUS
Areas I care about
Procurement & Strategic Sourcing
Demand & Supply Planning
Inventory Optimization
Simulation & Digital Twins
Continuous Improvement (Lean / Six Sigma)
APPROACH
Check the number against the floor. Build the relationship before the crisis.
Data before decisions
Numbers get checked against what's actually happening on the floor before they drive a plan. A dashboard is only as good as the process it's built on.
Suppliers are partners, not vendors
The best pricing, lead-time, and quality outcomes come from relationships built before there's a shortage — not negotiated during one.
CAREER
Experience shaped by procurement rigor, planning discipline, and hands-on operations.
Supply Chain Manager
CLIMATE MASTER
Own procure-to-pay, demand forecasting, and daily S&OP cadence for HVAC compressors and 20+ long- and short-lead components, keeping production supplied while cutting excess inventory.
Supply Chain & Logistics Intern
TESLA MOTORS
Designed a FlexSim digital twin of the outbound vehicle yard and automated the ETL pipeline feeding it, giving planners a Q+1 view of capacity and bottlenecks.
Senior Manager, Supply Planning & Procurement
RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Ran procurement, supplier diversification, and maintenance planning across a 5-plant organization — including a $100M plant turnaround mobilizing 5,000+ contractors across 12 vendors.
Graduate Research & Teaching Assistant
OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY — DOE Industrial Assessment Center
Led an 8-member team running DOE-backed energy audits for small and mid-size manufacturers, translating plant data into action plans leadership actually implemented.
PROJECTS
Selected work across procurement, planning, and simulation-driven systems.
ANALYTICS MODERNIZATION
Supplier KPI & Spend Dashboard
Partnered with a software team to design a live, MongoDB-backed procurement dashboard tracking $100M+ in annual spend, eliminating duplicate purchases across sites.
FORECASTING & PLANNING
Demand-Supply Forecasting Overhaul
Deployed Tableau-based rolling demand forecasts and supplier alignment strategies that surfaced over-procurement risk and reset the demand-supply balance.
PROCUREMENT STRATEGY
60+ SKU Supplier Diversification
Ran an RFI-equivalent evaluation across alternate suppliers for 60+ sole-sourced SKUs, qualifying and onboarding new vendors to eliminate single-point-of-failure risk.
OPTIMIZATION MODEL
MILP-Based Shift Scheduling
Built a MILP model in Python/Gurobi to balance air traffic controller workload across 15-minute intervals, allocating two weeks of shifts across five ATC zones.
PROCESS AUTOMATION
ETL Pipeline for Capacity Planning
Automated a SQLAlchemy/Python ETL pipeline consolidating four Vertica data sources, eliminating seven manual queries run twice daily and speeding up decision-ready inputs.
