FastLabs
About
FastLabs is the consulting home for that work: practical internal tools, automations, dashboards, data products, and small software systems that make operations easier to run.
I am a product manager specializing in data-intensive software and analytics products, with a track record of turning complex operations into intuitive, user-centered systems. Before FastLabs, that meant produce quality decision support, streaming data platforms, fleet technology, master data systems, BI rollouts, and large-scale retail reporting.
FastLabs brings that same product discipline into smaller, faster consulting work: Retool apps, support automation, dashboards, practical AI workflows, and useful software that teams can actually own.
Experience
The consulting work is grounded in a product background across operations, analytics, machine learning enablement, BI, and data platforms.
Led Advanced Software work for Fresh, including Directed Logic, a produce quality decision-support application; built a real-time risk-of-rejection model where flagged inspections were 11x more likely to result in rejection; shaped Azure Synapse warehousing, Power BI monitoring, and weather-informed strawberry quality forecasting with Kroger R&D and NOAA.
Owned product strategy and deprecation planning for Hulu custom BI tools after the Disney merger; supported continuity for financially critical reporting and near-real-time event analysis; scaled DataPortal and helped lead a next-generation feature management platform for personalization and marketing use cases.
Owned local and long-haul fleet technology across load building, supplier communication, routing, dispatching, driver execution, visibility, and cost estimation. Led automated routing for about 100 local dedicated drivers handling 1,000+ daily pickups and transfers, reducing dispatching time 85% and improving route reliability 15%.
Served as subject matter expert for master data management, data cleansing, automation, modeling, analysis, and reporting. Led Power BI rollout and designed a volume-based order policy that added 5.7M cases palletized per month, roughly 106M pounds annually.
Served as product owner for one of the largest retail data sets globally, leading distributed teams across omnichannel retail reporting. Partnered with top CPGs and major retailers to build competitive reporting systems, overhaul Target and Walmart reporting platforms, and support geographic expansion into Mexico.
Business foundation paired with product, data, and technical fluency across modern analytics architecture, machine learning enablement, dashboards, KPIs, and cross-functional delivery.
