Core Expertise

As a Fleet Intelligence Architect, I engineer AI-driven optimization systems that transform vehicle fleets into adaptive, high-efficiency networks. My work synthesizes telematics analytics, resource allocation algorithms, and predictive maintenance models to maximize operational uptime while minimizing costs and environmental impact.

Technical Capabilities

1. Dynamic Fleet Optimization

  • AI Routing & Dispatching:

    • Developed FlowOpt – A reinforcement learning platform reducing empty miles by 28% through real-time traffic, weather, and demand forecasting

    • Implemented multi-objective optimization balancing fuel efficiency, driver hours, and delivery deadlines

  • Asset Utilization:

    • Created digital twin simulations to right-size fleets, achieving 95% vehicle utilization rates

2. Sustainability Integration

  • Emission-Reduction Strategies:

    • Designed EV transition roadmaps with charging infrastructure planning

    • Pioneered idle-time penalty algorithms reducing unnecessary engine hours

3. Predictive Operations

  • Maintenance Forecasting:

    • Built failure prediction models using vibration, oil quality, and ECU data (85% accuracy)

    • Automated parts inventory management via repair likelihood analytics

Impact & Collaborations

  • Enterprise Deployments:

    • Lead Architect for Amazon’s Last-Mile Fleet Optimization 2025

    • Technical Partner with UPS on their electric vehicle rollout

  • Open Tools:

    • Released FleetMind – Benchmark dataset of 10M+ vehicle operational hours

Signature Innovations

  • Algorithm: Collaborative Fleet Learning (patent-pending cross-fleet knowledge sharing)

  • Publication: "The Self-Optimizing Fleet: How AI Redefines Logistics" (Harvard Business Review, 2024)

  • Award: 2025 Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals Innovation Award

Optional Customizations

  • For Logistics Providers: "Our system increased deliveries per driver by 22% without extending hours"

  • For Municipal Fleets: "Reduced fuel costs by 35% through predictive route optimization"

  • For Media: "Featured in Bloomberg’s ‘The Invisible Hand Steering Your Packages’"

A FedEx cargo plane is stationed on an airport runway, with its logo displayed prominently on the side. The aircraft is large, with a white body and purple accents on the tail fin and engines. The runway appears smooth and expansive, with faint runway markings visible. The background shows a clear sky with a hint of orange, possibly indicating either sunrise or sunset, and some greenery at the horizon.
