Turning sustainability requirements into clear, actionable results is where I add value. Organizations need consulting outputs that are technically sound, practical to implement, and easy for leadership teams, auditors, regulators, and stakeholders to understand. With hands-on experience in carbon accounting, ISO management systems, ESG reporting, governance frameworks, KPI tracking, sustainability dashboards, and decarbonization planning, I turn complex requirements into clear reports, calculation workbooks, procedures, trackers, roadmaps, and management-ready presentations. Core services: • Carbon footprint and GHG inventory for Scope 1, Scope 2, and applicable Scope 3 categories • GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1 documentation support • Net zero baseline review and decarbonization roadmap with actions, KPIs, and implementation priorities • ISO management system documentation for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, ISO 26000, and ISO 20400 • Process mapping, internal audit checklists, procedures, risk registers, and training materials • GRI-based ESG and sustainability reporting with KPI tables, evidence tracking, and report structure • Governance frameworks, KPI dashboards, policy documents, action plans, and management reports • Sustainability writing, executive summaries, and professional PowerPoint / Canva presentations Relevant experience: • 25+ sustainability, ESG, ISO, and carbon-related consulting projects • 15+ carbon footprint and GHG inventory assignments • 50+ sustainability, ISO, ESG, and QHSE workshops delivered • Experience with government, semi-government, and private-sector organizations • Strong background in audit-ready documentation, KPI tracking, and management reporting Typical deliverables: • Data request checklist • Carbon calculation workbook • KPI tracker or dashboard • Gap assessment summary • Risk register or evidence register • Policy, procedure, or process map • Implementation roadmap • Leadership-ready report or presentation Digital sustainability experience: Experience includes sustainability data systems, carbon tracking dashboards, Excel-based GHG models, and AI-enabled ESG platform logic covering activity data structure, emissions calculation workflows, KPI tracking, evidence management, and dashboard reporting. Share your sector, site count, reporting objective, and available data, and I will recommend a clear scope, timeline, and fixed price.

WMS and 3PL product leader. I run warehouse management, inventory, and logistics integration programs end to end — currently Cofounder & CTO at WizeFulfill. 16 years in product, 10+ in supply chain, 100% Job Success over 54 contracts. WHAT I DO • Warehouse Management Systems for 3PLs and brands — requirements, architecture, vendor selection, rollout • Marketplace and carrier integrations — Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Shopify, ShipStation, ShipEngine • Inventory, RFID, and cycle-count workflows • ERP and CRM implementation — Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Oracle EBS and Cloud • AI agents and intelligence layers for logistics operations • Fractional product leadership for teams that need senior direction, not another contractor TRACK RECORD • Cofounder & CTO at WizeFulfill — cloud WMS for 3PLs and high-volume ecommerce warehouses • Founder of Augmas — enterprise AI across 50+ business systems • AI Enterprise Coach — I run AI strategy sessions for CEO peer groups including Vistage UAE, and score companies on AI readiness • Regular exhibitor at Collision, GITEX and London Tech Week • Product Manager & Consultant at SphereWMS, 2019–2022 — cloud WMS for 3PLs and enterprise brands • SaaS Product Manager at ProcurementExpress, 2016–2019 • Product Manager at Elance (now Upwork) for 2 years — I shipped complex features to production on this platform itself • Founder & CEO of Shispare since 2013, a product engineering firm specializing in supply chain and AI systems, rated 4.9/5 across 8 verified reviews on Clutch • $600K+ earned and 11,165 hours delivered here at 100% Job Success HOW I WORK I have managed teams of 20+ and I am comfortable being the person who owns the outcome rather than a task list. Deep attention to detail, a strong eye for user experience, and a preference for the problems nobody else wants — the integration no one will own, the legacy system no one wants to touch. If you are building or replacing a WMS, wiring up carriers and marketplaces, or you need a product leader who already understands how a warehouse actually runs, send me the problem. The first conversation is scoping, not selling.

As a multidisciplinary engineer with a unique blend of materials science expertise and data engineering fluency, I specialise in driving innovation at the intersection of physical product development and analytical intelligence. With a background in R&D for high-performance medical devices, I’ve led end-to-end materials validation, supplier qualification, and electroforming process optimisation, ensuring compliance with rigorous industry standards. My hands-on work with XRD, SEM, and statistical tolerance modelling is backed by real-world outcomes, such as validating alternative materials for use in our devices, cutting cost of production significantly, and unlocking device insights from material characteristic trends that allow us to more accurately predict failure. In parallel, I bring data engineering and cost modelling experience from two highly diverse fields: life sciences and large-scale construction (GCC giga-projects). These roles have sharpened my skills in advanced data engineering and visualisation. I build Power BI dashboards, Python scripts, and custom analytics tools that turn complex lab results and building master plan OpEx data into actionable insights. Whether analysing how microstructure trends affect device performance or optimising business processes from messy datasets, I help engineering teams make smarter, faster decisions. If you're building a product that needs materials insights, or if you just need data that makes sense, I can support everything from early-stage research and test planning to full-scale validation and technical storytelling. Let’s build something that works and makes sense.
