About Me

Building Smarter Systems
That Move the World

One of the core lessons imprinted on me at a young age was understanding the processes involved in running my father's business. In recent years, I also delved into establishing a supply chain startup. Even though it's no longer in operation, the skills I acquired have engineered my passion for sustainable supply chain, logistics, and transportation systems.

Presently, I am a Ph.D. candidate in Industrial Engineering at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, where Professor Yanshuo Sun advises me. My research lies in applying mathematical modeling, big data, machine learning, AI, operations research, and optimization toward improving the planning, operations, and management of transportation systems, supply chains, and logistics.

Beyond research, I enjoy reading, learning, and writing about new discoveries on my blog. I love traveling, playing the keyboard, composing music, and officiating football matches.
