🌐 Global Logistics Expert Transitioning to Front-End Software Engineering 🌐

With 19 years of hands-on experience in global logistics, I've journeyed from the warehouse floor as a forklift operator to the esteemed position of Global Director of Logistics. My expertise spans a wide range of logistics functions, including import and export management across land, air, and ocean, supply chain optimization, customs brokerage, hazardous materials management, and strategic global supplier management.

🚢 Logistics Mastery: Navigating Global Supply Chains

My career has been defined by a commitment to excellence in logistics. I've successfully overseen complex operations, managed global suppliers, and conducted in-depth pricing analysis. Creative problem-solving has been a cornerstone of my approach, whether it involves process optimization or the strategic placement of suppliers to support the global exchange of goods.

💡 Parallels Between Logistics and Software Engineering

As I transition into front-end software engineering, I draw parallels between the movement of physical goods in logistics and the non-tangible exchange of data in software engineering. Both require a meticulous understanding of systems, an ability to navigate complexities, creative problem-solving. The precision required to ensure the smooth flow of goods mirrors the attention to detail needed in crafting seamless user experiences through software.

🖥️ Diverse Skill Set: Beyond Logistics

Beyond my logistical skills, I am a creative problem solver, adept at finding innovative solutions. My proficiency extends to front-end software development, with expertise in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. As an analytics enthusiast, I leverage data insights for informed decision-making, and my mastery of Microsoft Excel is a testament to my analytical skills.

🌟 Embracing Change: Studying Software Engineering at Turing School

Driven by a passion for technology and a desire to embrace new challenges, I am currently immersed in the world of software engineering at the Turing School of Software and Design. My goal is to graduate in June 2024, equipped with the skills to contribute to the field of software development.

🤝 Connecting for Collaboration and Opportunity

I am eager to connect with professionals in both logistics and software engineering fields. Whether you're interested in discussing the intricacies of global logistics, exploring collaborations, or connecting with fellow software enthusiasts, I welcome the opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals who share a passion for innovation.
