I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as a Technical Project Manager!

📢 What a journey! 📢 Yesterday marked my last day as a KTP Associate (AI Application Developer) at Teesside University. It has been an incredible journey, and I am eager to share a summary of our achievements and my transition to the role of Technical Project Manager at Direct Line Supplies Ltd. The cornerstone of our project was the development of an Intelligent Decision Support System (IDSS) to augment managerial decision-making. Utilising the Multi-Aspectual Knowledge Elicitation framework (MAKE4ML), we extracted crucial insights from domain experts to design robust machine learning models. These models have significantly optimised business processes, especially in the procurement operations of a food warehouse company. Our contributions have reshaped internal workflows and achieved academic recognition with publications at CONVR 2023 (Italy) and SASBE 2024 (New Zealand). A key innovation was our design of an AI-driven ERP system, encompassing diverse AI functionalities, including Time Series Forecasting, Similarity Analysis, Recommendation Systems, Pricing Optimization, and Procurement Simulation. This system, crafted after extensive business analysis, has substantially improved decision-making processes, showcasing the successful integration of AI within a product-centric environment. I extend my deepest thanks to Prof. Farzad Pour Rahimian, Dr. Diptangshu Pandit (Max), Dr. Sina Joneidy, Pedram Salahshouri, Gilly Hall, Barry Hebbron, and the exemplary development team at DLS for their unwavering support. This transition is merely the beginning of many more exciting advancements as we strive to position DLS at the forefront of the industry, akin to becoming the next Amazon. 🙂 #AI #MachineLearning #IDSS #ERP #TechInnovation #SupplyChain #KTP #TeessideUniversity #DirectLineSupplies #InnovateUK
