Description

Most logistics problems look like chaos from the outside. I see structure.

I am a self-taught Operations Research scientist specialising in vehicle routing, supply chain optimisation, and real-time decision systems. My work sits at the intersection of advanced mathematics and practical engineering. I build models that do not just look good on paper but actually run in production.

Recently, I developed a Deep Reinforcement Learning agent for real-time VRP that improved delivery efficiency by 15%. Not by tweaking a spreadsheet, but by rethinking how routing decisions get made dynamically, at scale.

What makes me different: I am not a black-box consultant. I explain every model, every trade-off, and every assumption in plain language so you understand what you are buying and why it works. If you are a logistics or supply chain company sitting on an inefficiency you cannot quite name, that is exactly the kind of problem I am built for.

Tools: Python, Gurobi, Scikit-learn, SQL, Excel. Timeline: fast. Communication: clear.
