Retail AI that sells more and runs smoother
I build retail systems that forecast demand, handle traffic spikes, and take repetitive work off your team's plate. Agents, search, vision, and simulation — assembled around the problems that actually matter.
Workflows and automation
Retail has too many moving parts to manage by hand. I wire together the systems that handle orders, returns, inventory, and pricing — so your team stops firefighting and starts operating.
- Order routing that handles exceptions without waking someone up
- Returns classification and restocking that keeps stock accurate
- Inventory sync across channels, with conflict handling built in
- Pricing that responds to demand, competitors, and margin goals
Agents for retail
Some retail work is too variable for a hardcoded rule, but too repetitive for a person. I build agents that handle those gray areas — shopping help, returns, procurement, and merchandising — and hand off when a human needs to step in.
- Shopping assistants that actually know your catalog
- Service agents that resolve multi-turn issues and escalate cleanly
- Procurement agents that compare terms across suppliers
- Merchandising agents that tune promotions based on what's moving
Search and product discovery
Customers don't search in keywords; they search in intent. I build discovery systems that understand what they mean, pull from your catalog and docs, and answer follow-ups instead of dumping a list of links.
- Semantic search over products, reviews, and policy docs
- Visual search: snap a photo, find the match
- RAG agents that answer returns, warranty, and sizing questions
- Conversational discovery with comparison and refinement
Monitoring and observability
Retail moves fast, and problems get expensive quickly. I set up monitoring that catches traffic spikes, fraud patterns, inventory drift, and model degradation — and tells you why, not just that something broke.
- Anomaly detection on sales velocity, traffic, and conversion
- Fraud scoring with real-time alerts and escalation
- Tracing across services and model calls so issues are easy to locate
- Model drift detection with retraining triggers you control
Supply chain visibility
You can't fix what you can't see. I build supply-chain views that track shipments, predict delays, and flag supplier risk before it cascades into a stockout.
- Shipment tracking with predictive ETAs
- Multi-tier supplier risk monitoring from news, weather, and logistics signals
- Disruption alerts with suggested next steps
- Inventory dashboards across warehouses, stores, and in-transit stock
Computer vision
Cameras can see what spreadsheets miss. I build vision systems for shelf compliance, planogram checks, checkout-free stores, and quality inspection — the practical stuff that keeps stores running.
- Shelf compliance and out-of-stock detection
- Planogram verification that flags gaps and triggers restocking
- Checkout-free store tracking with multi-camera fusion
- Visual quality inspection before products reach customers
Data analysis
Your transaction data already knows what customers want. I turn it into segmentation, basket analysis, cohort tracking, and plain-language reports — no monthly spreadsheet marathon required.
- Customer segmentation that updates as behavior changes
- Basket analysis for cross-sell and upsell recommendations
- Cohort and lifetime-value models with retraining built in
- Natural-language reporting: ask a question, get a chart
Digital twins
Why guess when you can simulate? I build digital twins of stores, warehouses, and supply chains so you can test layouts, throughput, and demand spikes before committing real money and inventory.
- Store layout simulation with foot traffic modeling
- Warehouse twins for throughput and bottleneck analysis
- Demand scenario planning for peaks, sales, and competitor moves
- Inventory flow simulation across the full distribution network
Humanoid robotics
Robotics in retail is moving from demo to deployment. I help integrate humanoid and mobile robots for picking, packing, inventory scanning, and last-mile delivery — with safety and human-in-the-loop controls from the start.
- Warehouse picking and packing workflows
- Autonomous inventory scanning and shelf audits
- Last-mile delivery robots for store-to-door fulfillment
- Human-robot collaboration with safety guardrails
