Supply chain teams can create, customize, and share analytics projects on our secure platform. Easily calculate safety stocks, reorder points, and optimal order quantities using a variety of algorithms. As the CEO, I constructed a vision for Gears Analytics by identifying pain points through personal experience and customer discovery interviews. I translated that vision into a product roadmap and recruited a team to make it a reality. I built out the details of the business model, estimated the size of the market, and created a three statement financial proforma to assess funding needs and establish milestones. Many of the features of the Gears Analytics platform I've developed personally. I've made over 700 source code contributions and written thousands of lines of code in Python, JavaScript, SQL, and PowerShell. The core of our product is a React frontend paired with a Django backend API. I migrated our product from AWS to the Azure Cloud, making use of services including Azure Synapse Analytics, Function Apps, Azure App Services, Key Vaults, Azure Active Directory, and more.
