Running supply planning for a Q-commerce operation that lives and dies by 15-minute delivery SLAs isn't a forgiving environment — and that's exactly where I built my edge. ▸ Engineered SQL-based Rate of Sale (ROS) forecasting that eliminated manual planning for entire product categories — 7,000+ SKUs now run on logic I built from scratch. ▸ Reduced Ultra-Fresh category wastage by 18% (23% → 5%) by writing targeted distribution queries for short-shelf-life products: chicken, dairy, and meat. One SQL model. Millions of SAR preserved. ▸ Maintained 90% weighted SKU availability while governing the full replenishment cycle from DC to dark stores — precise scheduling, transfer management, and real-time escalation. ▸ Boosted customer fill rate by 10% by designing a near-expiry inbound acceptance model that converted a blanket rejection policy into a data-driven acceptance system. ▸ Led RELEX supply planning implementation, aligning system parameters to operational reality — bridging the gap between what the software assumes and how Q-commerce actually works. ▸ Built automated SQL dashboards tracking CFR, Safety Stock, and DOC — integrating Gemini and Claude AI to eliminate hours of manual reporting weekly.
