Created a tabletop gaming store alongside my wife. This involved designing process flows, gathering inventory, establishing and maintaining distributor and vendor relationships, developing new technology, and integrating with existing technology, including building a brand new point of sale platform from scratch, that is currently in a beta release for other game stores to use.

Updated the scanning and warehouse management systems at Ankerpak in order to better control inventory and create more usable process flows for our warehouse team. These processes included receiving items into the facility, moving inventory around the warehouse, allocating certain inventory to orders, and picking the inventory from the shelves for preparation to ship. I was the head of this project, which involved research into proven methods and techniques, making proposals to management, purchasing new hardware, updating software rules and automation, and training staff members on new procedures.
