Turning complex logistics into clear decisions

I specialize in the intersection of mathematical optimization and transportation networks — formulating real operational problems as rigorous mathematical models and translating the results into decisions stakeholders can act on.

Currently focused on outbound distribution optimization at C&S Wholesale Grocers, where I encode delivery operations as vehicle routing problems and evaluate what-if scenarios to drive network-level strategy.

"Connor formulated a bin assignment problem as a linear optimization model, carefully designing objective function coefficients to reflect operational priorities… This level of initiative and applied thinking is uncommon at the undergraduate level."

Current position · Remote

Transportation Modeling Analyst

Formulate and solve large-scale vehicle routing problems to optimize outbound grocery delivery operations. Analyses have identified opportunities to reduce outbound truck miles by more than 10% while minimizing network disruption.

  • Formulate outbound grocery delivery operations as a CVRPTW, encoding capacity, time window, and routing constraints for use in a proprietary Julia-based optimization solver
  • Evaluate what-if scenarios — new customers, constraint changes, delivery schedule adjustments — to support network-level decision making
  • Present quantitative results to stakeholders, translating model outputs into actionable operational recommendations
