About

I’m a Data Analyst with a strong background in logistics, warehouse operations, and precision agriculture. I specialize in turning raw data into actionable insights that streamline supply chains, optimize inventory systems, and enhance agricultural productivity.

With hands-on experience in both field operations and data systems—and a disciplined foundation from my service in the U.S. Air Force—I bring a practical, solutions-focused approach to data analytics. My technical skills include SQL, Python, R, Tableau, Excel, Microsoft Access, and Ag Leader SMS, and my goal is always the same: use data to solve real-world problems and deliver measurable impact.

Experience

Key Strengths & Achievements:

Warehouse Logistics & Inventory Management:

Built and maintained a custom MS Access database to manage procurement, vehicle maintenance, and inventory across multiple job sites. This system cut 20+ man-hours of crew downtime weekly and saved over $48,000 in labor in 8 months.

Precision Agriculture & Agronomy:

Used Ag Leader SMS to analyze GPS-tagged soil samples and develop variable-rate fertilizer prescriptions. Reduced fertilizer costs by 5–75% per acre while increasing yields and minimizing environmental impact.

Data Analytics & Visualization:

Advanced proficiency in SQL, Python, R, and Tableau for analyzing trends, identifying inefficiencies, and building dashboards that support decision-making and operational improvements.

Military Logistics & Operational Discipline:

As a retired U.S. Air Force Vehicle Operator/Dispatcher, I coordinated complex transportation missions under pressure—building foundational skills in logistics, time management, and clear communication.

Process Optimization & Real-World Problem Solving:

Whether in agriculture, warehousing, or fleet coordination, I’ve repeatedly designed data-driven solutions that cut costs, increase efficiency, and improve workflows.
