SUM M ARY

I have over ten years of experience in the development and maintenance of complex software

systems. My interests have varied from topics in Artificial Intelligence such as Machine learning,

Combinatorial Search, and Planning Algorithms ; to socket and network programming; to development

of Retail Planning Systems and Algorithms ; to more recently in CRM, omni-channel retailing and

mobile application development.

I have been working on retail applications and algorithms for the past six years. Most of my experience

has been in development of Planning and Forecasting applications and Engines at Oracle Corporation.

Recently, I have started to foray into other facets of Retail including POS systems, Dat a Warehouse,

Reporting and Merchandising.

I am looking for leadership opportunities in top of the line Consulting Organizations; my vision for next

several years is to help retail companies implement best-in-class retail solutions with focus on

innovation, automation and productivity.
