Applied AI for Real World Operations
I'm working on AI Engineering solutions in my lane (logistics and transport) to build practical, responsible AI systems for transport, supply chains and operational decision making.
Freight Cost & Logistics Optimisation
Identify cost to serve drivers, optimise carrier mix, and uncover margin leakage across lanes and service types.
DIFOT & Service Performance
Diagnose root causes of delivery failures and build practical reporting that improves reliability - not just dashboards.
Practical AI Enablement
Implement lightweight AI tools and automation that reduce manual reporting and generate actionable operational insights.
Applied Agentic AI in Transport
I design and prototype task specific AI agents that solve real operational problems in transport and supply chain environments.
Agent based systems that move beyond static dashboards.Instead of simply reporting what happened, they monitor data streams, detect emerging risks, and surface operational issues automatically - reducing manual oversight and accelerating decision making.In transport environments, this means earlier detection of compliance exposure, recurring DIFOT failures, cost drift, and service instability.
PROTOTYPE
Chain of Responsibility (CoR) Compliance Agent
Rebuilt as Before Start Safety/CoR Check (see Featured): rules set a traffic light for fatigue, mass, load restraint, speed and maintenance, and AI agents name who in the chain owns the fix. The original LangChain and RAG prototype remains on GitHub.
PROTOTYPE
Distribution LEAN Waste Multi-Agent System
A multi-agent system applying the 7 Deadly Wastes (TIMWOOD) to distribution and logistics operations - surfacing Transport (excess km's and empty running), Overprocessing (handling/touch points), Waiting, Motion, Inventory location (and network design), and Defects. Rebuilding a sophisticated waste-analysis approach originally developed for industry, using synthetic data for public demonstration. Designed as an opportunity evaluation tool for any business.
IN DEVELOPMENT
Invoice Agent
Audits invoices against contracted rates to detect cost drift and billing leakage, while tracking cost per tonne and cost per kilo by lane - surfacing inefficiencies and supporting decisions to pivot lanes when performance slips.
Applied AI in Transport - Built for Operators.
I’m developing practical agent-based systems focused on compliance, service performance, and freight cost control.I'm always open to connecting with operators exploring practical AI in transport.
Based in Australia. Working across transport and supply chain environments.

Working code, not slideware. Three live demos (Before Start Safety/CoR Check, Where's My Stuff? and DIFOT Lens), evolved from January's early experiments into evaluated, working systems. Where it started:Multi-Agent Delivery Exception Handler
LangGraph · Python · RAG · GPT-4o · LangSmithFive specialist agents in sequence - preprocessing delivery logs, classifying exceptions, resolving against an ops playbook via RAG, drafting customer messages, and validating outputs through a critic with revision loops. Typed data views keep customer PII reachable by one agent only; a deterministic rule engine outside the LLM enforces the highest-stakes escalations.90% task completion · 100% exception ID · 100% tool call accuracy · 4.3/5 coherence across 10 end-to-end test cases.Final project, UT Austin Post-Graduate Program in AI Agents for Business Applications.
