• Implements logic modules to test algorithms and design ideas in building layout, slotting technology,resource management, and SKU assortments.
• Uses statistical techniques and ML to fine-tune software products, smartly allocate inventory during peak season, predetermine the throughput, necessary capacity, and monetary impact of new concept FCs, and develop.

• Built a steady-state inventory simulation in Python modeling Walmart’s Next Generation FulfillmentCenters, processing daily inbound, replenishment, and sales at a SKU and tote storage level to be usedacross Walmart’s.

Hoboken, New Jersey, United States

• Developed a simulation tool for an automated pilot fulfillment center using 900,000 totes for SKU storage within an AS/RS, fulfilling > 1,000,000 order items and > 1,000,000 SKUs per day.
• Tool used to reduce cost by optimizing SKU sub-level-storage strategies (including fulfilment center design) and limiting the amount of offline picks.
• Configured tool to be flexible and usable amongst several different types of Walmart Fulfillment Centers.
• Streamlines order picking process based on order prioritization and SKU-levels based picking.
• Ran what-if scenarios and analyzed produced data to find slotting distributions which minimize Offline Picks and reduce costs related to associate allocation and time-expensive operations.

• Worked on a project collaboration of GT's School of ISyE and College of Computing, which focused on providing American constituents with easier, more available voting experiences.
• Responsible for data mining, studying facility layouts, and creating simulation scenarios to decrease voting times, increase throughput, and erase bottle necks posed by newly implemented laws and historical voting.

• A team-based project working on constructing an interactive map that will be used as a reference by researchers/federal relief agencies to assess the vulnerability of each Puerto Rican municipality based on several.
• Currently working as an ISYE consultant on the creation of a hurricane vulnerability index based on data analysis of factors such as landslide density per area, flooding, power outages, and socioeconomic inequity.
• Focusing on the incorporation of the vulnerability index into a map made through ArcGIS.

Responsibilities include answering customer inquiries and the logistical planning of event spaces.

Hoboken, New Jersey, United States

• Independently designed a discrete-event simulation using SimPy to model several what-if scenarios for Walmart’s pilot fulfillment center consisting of Next Generation automation.
• The simulation tool modeled the interactive systems of inbound, strategic storage within the Automated Storage and Retrieval System, and outbound. Optimized selection of totes to decant and pick from. Utilized SKU.
• Calculated metrics and performed analytics on tote utilization, SKU storage distribution, and time-based fluctuations.
