01 Systems thinker who finds the real problem
Belvidere's 27.3% late rate wasn't a headcount problem — it was a 12-hour phase mismatch between labor supply and demand. BATCHANGE's daily averages masked a trimodal distribution. The conventional answer is usually wrong because it starts from the most-measured variable, not the binding constraint.
02 AI-accelerated OR practitioner who ships
MILP formulation, validation, and iteration compressed from a quarter to weeks using LLM-accelerated development. A 53% reduction in weekly staffing deficit at zero cost. Python, simulation, and optimization deployed in live 3PL environments — not slide decks.
03 Rigor that scales from floor to journal to boardroom
Lean Six Sigma discipline applied to real operations. Peer-reviewed publication trajectory targeting INFORMS. Executive communication with GMs, directors, and VPs using live dashboards and data-driven narratives. Measurable outcomes in six- to seven-figure savings.
