Where I am now — and where I want to go next

My career so far has given me experience across several layers of the commercial and operational system:

  • marketplace infrastructure and seller operations;
  • regional logistics and fulfilment networks;
  • consumer product and user research;
  • digital retail, UX, and omnichannel experiences;
  • forecasting, cost, capacity, and network planning at Amazon scale.

The next stage is not a departure from that experience. It is an extension of it.

I want to explore what happens when experienced operators can also use coding assistants, agents, and lightweight software development to build the tools they need themselves.

That includes questions such as:

  • How can operational knowledge be translated into reusable analysis logic?
  • How can agents investigate a problem without losing context or human oversight?
  • How can coding assistants help non-engineering operators move from an idea to a working internal tool?
  • How should teams divide work between analysis, interpretation, strategy, and execution?
  • How can AI improve decision-making without creating false confidence or removing accountability?
  • What does an effective AI-native operating model look like inside a large organisation?

My direction is toward work that sits between domain expertise, operations, product thinking, and technical execution.

Not AI as a separate specialism, but AI as a new layer of operating capability.

Current areas of exploration

  • AI-enabled logistics analysis
  • Forecasting and planning-quality systems
  • Adaptive network design
  • Agentic research and reporting workflows
  • Spec-driven development using Codex
  • Human judgment in increasingly automated organisations
  • Slime mould and other adaptive-system models as a lens for logistics networks
