Bio

Amazon’s Global Inventory Platform team is responsible for the Supply Chain systems that support Amazon.com inventory worldwide. Given that our volume doubles in size roughly every 3 years, our team must always be at the forefront of research into new technologies, machine learning techniques, big data analysis, and complex forecasting models to more accurately and efficiently have items on their way to customers before they ever even click “buy”. We’re predicting the future and changing it, every day.
