Generative AI in Retail Supply Chains - consulting project with PwC Canada (University of Toronto, Management Consulting for Engineers, Sep-Dec 2023). In a team of 6, I researched and presented to PwC's Digital Operations team how generative AI can support retail supply chains across sourcing, warehousing, distribution and customer preferences, benchmarking how companies like Walmart, H&M and Alibaba use it today and where its use could be extended. Working with PwC mentors, we learned to tailor findings and recommendations to each client's needs.

✌️ Two ways to handle a limited branding budget:
Option 01: Build the complete visual identity, but only deliver what the client currently needs or can afford.
Option 02: Build only the part of the identity that matches the client's current needs and budget.
Which approach makes more sense to you?
Would love to hear which one you’d choose — and why.

If you choose option 01 do you tell the client you have mapped out the wider identity or keep it strictly hidden so they don’t expect the extra assets for free?
E-commerce Operations Automation & Order Management System
I designed an e-commerce operations automation system to show how a growing online store can handle increasing order volume without increasing repetitive manual work.
The system connects key operational processes—including order handling, customer data, CRM updates, inventory monitoring, customer notifications, internal alerts, and reporting—into one coordinated workflow.
Instead of teams manually transferring information between tools, checking stock, updating customer records, sending routine notifications, and preparing reports, the workflow automatically moves data and triggers the appropriate next action.
The system was designed around a simple operational flow:
Order Received → Customer Data Verified → CRM Updated → Inventory Checked → Customer Notified → Team Alerted → Reporting Updated
I also designed safeguards for exceptions and failed processes so issues can be identified instead of silently disrupting the workflow.
The result is an operational system designed to help an e-commerce business achieve:
Less manual processing • Fewer errors • Faster customer communication • Better operational visibility • Easier scaling
This project demonstrates how automation can become part of the infrastructure behind a growing e-commerce store—not just a collection of disconnected automations.
Tools & technologies: Shopify/WooCommerce workflows, n8n, Make, Zapier, CRM systems, APIs, spreadsheets, and automated reporting.
What caught my attention was the exception safeguards that surface failures instead of letting the flow die silently.
