I've led critical initiatives across all supply chain functions at Dandy, significantly improving operations while building robust, scalable systems. My work spans technical architecture, cross-functional leadership, and strategic implementation that directly impacts business outcomes.
Working with our Design team, I spearheaded the complete redesign of our mission-critical task assignment system, eliminating recurring outages and dramatically improving engineering feature velocity. This initiative reduced average design lead time by 15 minutes *per order* and saved team leads 48 hours *per week per product line*.
By collaborating closely with operations leadership, we implemented a rollout strategy that prioritized high-impact areas first, immediately delivering value to the business.
In Manufacturing and Shipping, I architected foundational systems that decoupled manufacturing processes from sales workflows.
I led the auto-nesting integration that reduced cycle time from 8 hours to under 2 hours and decreased nesting time from 60 to 8 minutes for 70% of all milling cases. Implementing manufacturing orders and subunit tracking unlocked critical roadmap initiatives, including our automated manufacturing lines. All these projects directly contributed to reducing manufacturing paid direct labor time and total manufacturing COGS.
Beyond the supply chain teams, I've driven engineering initiatives across the organization. I'm evaluating and driving the rollout of LLM-based developer tools to improve engineering productivity. I worked on improvements to the company's technical interview process. I spearheaded the transition from Event Sourced to CRUD-based persistence, standardizing development practices company-wide. My initiative to standardize storage artifact configuration delivered >$250k in annual savings while improving code safety and artifact security.
