Welcome to my profile! I bring a combination of deep academic rigor and hands-on industry impact to AI for Data & Analytics coaching. Holding a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and more than 6 years of experience solving complex, large-scale problems at FedEx, I have designed and deployed advanced AI/ML models, machine learning systems, and AI-driven solutions that directly improve operational efficiency and decision-making. My work spans the full lifecycle, framing ambiguous business problems, building mathematical and ML models, developing scalable data pipelines, and productionizing solutions with MLOps. Hands-on experience includes developing internal AI chatbots (RAG-based) to unlock enterprise knowledge, as well as consistently leveraging AI for automation and end-to-end workflow optimization across scheduling, planning, and decision systems. Proven impact includes improving predictive performance by up to 40%, enhancing optimization algorithms, and leading cross-functional initiatives that influence enterprise strategy. Strong communication skills enable me to translate highly technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for diverse audiences. Clients can expect not only technical guidance, but also a practical, results-driven approach to thinking critically about data, designing scalable solutions, and delivering measurable business value.
