## Headline

Retail Analytics & GenAI Leader \| Building AI\-powered decision systems for large\-scale retail \| Target \| Ex\-Microsoft \| Ex\-Yahoo

## About

Retail's data problems aren't technical — they're about speed, trust, and knowing what to act on\. Over 19\+ years across Microsoft, Yahoo, and now Target, I've built data driven systems that help leaders make faster, better decisions — from Keywords optimizations and audits, guest segmentation and competitor intelligence to capture trending products, to solutionizing the leadership level Business Reviews routines \. At Target, I lead the development of Generative AI and Agentic RAG solutions that have transformed how our teams consume data\. The shift from "here's a dashboard" to "here's what you should do next" — that's the gap I close\. What I specialize in: → GenAI & Agentic AI system design \(LLMs, RAGs, MCP, KAGs,loops,Evals\) → Retail analytics at scale — segmentation, space, comptetior analysis,consumer trends ,market trends → Translating ambiguous business problems into deployable AI solutions I hold an MBA from UT Austin – McCombs, which sharpened the business edge behind everything technical I build\. If you're working on hard retail data problems, building an AI analytics function, or want to talk about where Agentic AI is heading in enterprise retail — I'd be glad to connect\.
