About

Overview

I design and build decision systems for real operational environments.

Most systems fail because they rely on assumptions that break in practice. I focus on how operations actually behave—variability, constraints, and uncertainty—and build systems that perform under those conditions.

My work sits at the intersection of planning, execution, quality, and reliability. The goal is simple: make decisions that hold when exposed to real data, real processes, and real constraints.

I have applied this approach across manufacturing, logistics, and service systems—building optimization engines, decision workflows, and production systems that are used in practice, not just modeled.
Currently, I build and deploy decision systems through Optimal Flows, focused on real-world operational environments.

Work With Me

I take on a small number of projects where operational decisions fail under real-world conditions.

If your systems break due to variability, constraints, or uncertainty, and you need decisions that actually execute and optimize your processes, please reach out.
