The Home Depot partners up with the best vendors across the globe to maintain its number one position as the biggest and most reputable home improvement retailer. Vendors collaborate closely with The Home Depot merchants to optimize the sales and inventory of their products. However, it is challenging to be on the same page when people use different tools and datasets.

MY ROLE
Engaged with the merchants and vendors to understand their needs and provide a unique tool to help them better collaborate. The solution is a retail analytics software allowing both groups of users to create real-time visual analysis.

The visuals include:
• Trend lines to compare the sales and inventory for any period.
• Automated generated insights to proactively take action to spot sales and inventory anomalies.
• A map to perform regional analysis for all the US and Canadian stores.
• Top-performing SKUs and categories of products.
• Tracking new product launches and promotions.
• A drill-down capability to identify the root cause of the increase or decrease in sales.
• A mobile application to let field representatives walk in the stores and analyze on the go.

When you visit a store and make a purchase, go on a merchant website, visit a product page, add products to the cart, abandon the cart or make the purchase, or receive an email and open it, all these events can be captured as part of the customer journey. Companies have a hard time tracking and understanding consumers' behaviors because the use of various tools and data is disparate. Understanding the consumers and patrons can help merchants better engage with them with the right message at the right time.

MY ROLE
Aggregated all data points into one software to offer a 360-degree view of the consumers to the merchants. The software can create segments based on past events. An email editor was also included in the software so that the merchant could send personalized emails at any time to their consumers based on their behaviors. Segments were also automatically generated using machine learning. The type of segments would include customers likely to attend an event, subscribe to a plan, renew a mortgage, buy complimentary or recurrent products, or churn. The tool was offered to large eCommerce, travel, entertainment, and banking companies, including clients like Roots, Scotiabank, and AGO.

Westwing is the European leader in inspiration-based home and living eCommerce. Think Wayfair, but their European competitor. The company delivers everything from small items like candles and cutlery to big and bulk items like tables, sofas, and beds. Every country in Europe has its own legislation and specificity when it comes to customs and transportation. The challenge was to migrate all existing systems managing the warehouse operations and inventory across all eleven European countries into one software. The company also had the ambition to go public. This required proper inventory tracking at any time and anywhere to have accurate financial statements.

MY ROLE
Visited all warehouses to meet the warehouse leaders and employees to have a holistic view of their operational needs and pain points. Owned the roadmap and its execution by collaborating with a scrum team. Rolled out the new software in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Poland and reduced the global logistics cost by 70%.

Climate change is a hot topic more than ever. Resources are used to produce food, and CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere. But what food impacts our health and planet the most negatively? The Foodalyse mobile application attempts to answer that question by offering nutritional facts and environmental impact scores on thousands of food items, ingredients, and drinks. The goal of the app is to provide transparency in food so that people can educate themselves and decide how they can better adjust their diet for their health and the planet.

The application was developed with Angular, Ionic, and SQLite. It is available internationally on the App Store and Google Play for free.
