Various optimisation/consulting projects with business (particularly in the Supply Chain space).

The role also required softer management skills (client, project and people) and my finance knowledge.This process typically involved:Consulting: Where we work with the client to understand their problem and determine a solution.Optimisation Engine Build: Followed by a proof of concept where we build out an engine to demonstrate their problem can be modeled and that there exists a business case to proceed. Typically our engines showed business processes can made more efficient to the tune of 10-20% in lower cost or higher revenue.Tool build: Finally a web based application would be built to deliver the solution in an easy to usepiece of software.Projects:● Advanta Seeds: Forecasting the future market size of Grain Sorghum seed.● Queensland Urban Utilities: Modelling a change in bill timing.Product:● In charge of requirements gathering from our product’s customers and incorporating their feedback into a product roadmap.● Working with our developers to prioritise effort improving our engines and tools.● Managing sales and marketing effort.● Building out the SCOPTA suite (currently SCOPTA Network Flow and SCOPTA Run and Route.)● Supporting our current customers including Asahi and Holcim.People:● Mentor of junior and casual employees.● Involved in the hiring process.● Responsible for managing an offshore outsourced team of front end developers.● Assisted in developing a 5 year business plan for Biarri Supply Chain.Recipient of the 2017-2018 Biarri Annual “Power of Mathematics” Award
