Grew spare parts turnover by 40% and field service sales by 80%.
Led regional digital transformation; Power BI dashboards deployed across all branches.
Running a regional operation means managing 50+ moving parts simultaneously. I did it for 11 years with spreadsheets and instinct. This is the system I wish I had: daily intelligence cycles, pipeline tracking, opportunity monitoring, network health checks. Built in Claude Code with MCP integrations across Gmail, Calendar, Linear, GitHub, and Telegram. My actual operating system, not a demo.
Tenders in mining payload equipment are won or lost on response speed and technical precision. The old process was 3 people, 2 weeks, copy-paste from old bids. I rebuilt it: one person, same afternoon, better output. Reduced full bid preparation from weeks to hours. Integrated with Dynamics 365 Sales Hub and Parker Bay global fleet data for market expansion analysis across Central Asia and Africa.
Procurement risk in mining is invisible until a supplier fails. By the time it hits your KPIs, the shift is already lost. Built a 7-page analytics dashboard scoring 500 suppliers across risk dimensions, monitoring compliance across 6 weighted criteria, and detecting spend anomalies before they compound. Random Forest risk engine, Isolation Forest anomaly detection, natural language querying via Claude API. 29 automated tests.
I've watched site managers juggle three separate OEM portals to answer one question: is my fleet healthy? MineStar data here, condition monitoring over there, safety alerts somewhere else. This platform was built because I spent years in those chairs. One screen, one source of truth: fleet health, condition monitoring, ROI modeling, and geographic fleet intelligence. React 19 application demonstrating cross-OEM analytical thinking.
