Transportation and supply-chain leader who builds teams, improves operations, and creates practical technology to make complex work visible and manageable.
I connect operational leadership with hands-on technical execution: building transportation teams, negotiating major contracts, improving safety, and developing Python and SQL tools that turn live data into decisions.
The throughline is practical systems thinking—understand the people, process, and technology together, then make the whole operation work better.
