Professional summary
Digital supply chain transformation lead with 8+ years across Fortune 500 manufacturers in life sciences, chemicals and agriculture. I run advanced planning system (APS) implementations end to end — OMP, Kinaxis RapidResponse and SAP — with 5+ go-lives delivered across NA/SA, EU and APAC and full accountability for plan, risks, dependencies and release readiness. A computer science engineer by training, I build AI into the delivery itself: retrieval pipelines, triage agents and MCP integrations that measurably shorten cutover and support.

Applied AI & automation
Built and shipped by the person accountable for the go-live — running in live client programmes, not a sandbox.
- Retrieval-augmented generation — Retrieval pipelines over incident repositories, configuration documentation and planning master data — chunking, embedding and re-ranking tuned so answers cite the source record rather than inventing one. Built against live delivery-programme data, where a wrong answer costs a cutover.
- Agentic workflows — An agent trained on the historical incident repository that triages recurring issues and suggests resolutions — cutting P3/P4 resolution time by 14% and replacing manual control-tower lookup.
- MCP integrations — Model Context Protocol servers that connect language models to business systems and internal data over a typed tool surface, so the model reads real state instead of a stale export.
- LLM applications — A chatbot covering tool functionality, configuration and ACC-versus-PROD deltas, cutting repeated back-and-forth during implementation and cutover. Plus LLMs applied to scenario modelling, decision validation and requirement drafting inside live programmes.
