Today I'm a Merchandiser in Sourcing & Supply Chain at Jinnat Fashion Ltd., DBL Group, owning end-to-end accessories & trims sourcing for George and Vans: from sample development through bulk order placement, price negotiation, and day-to-day buyer communication. I work with both local and foreign suppliers — including China — to keep costing, quality and timelines aligned from first sample to shipment. Inside the ERP, that means raising purchase requisitions in Oracle EBS R12, costing and booking against the Master BOM, holding budgets, and chasing suppliers so the line never waits on a trim. It is exactly the kind of work I like — high volume, unforgiving detail, and buyer-facing enough that every negotiation and every commitment has to be right the first time.

In the background, I taught myself to close the gaps that process leaves behind. Our team was raising 30–50 requisitions a day by hand, each one a long click-path through Oracle. I wrote the Oracle PR Booking Bot — Python, Playwright and a local dashboard — that does the whole path itself and proves every step before it commits. It is now on 40+ colleagues' machines across DBL Group, with its own licence system and automatic updates. That project is below; it's a tool I built for my own team, not a career change — the merchandising and buyer relationship is still the job.

Before Sourcing I spent almost three years in Industrial Engineering at Snowtex Group. I started on the floor as a hands-on Line IE — sewing line layouts, running the lines, managing large operator teams — grew into IE Executive, and finished as Central IE in the Project Opex & CI team, supporting and training the IE teams of both factories (SOL and SSL) and leading each new MTO batch through their six-month program. I was a core member of Snowtex's factory automation & IoT initiative: operator-level production-counting devices, auto-generated capacity, QR material tracking from cutting to store, and an operator KPI system with an audit panel. I also handled Decathlon — INDUS follow-up, OWE and QCO ownership, and the weekly Monday SUM meeting with root-cause analysis and agreed action plans.

The tools below are built for my own team in the background, with AI as my co-builder (I use Claude) — a way of closing gaps that process leaves behind, not a career change. The sourcing and buyer relationship is still the job I show up for every day. Outside work I run the "Study Material BD" YouTube channel and have self-published a children's book on Amazon KDP.
