Former D1 student-athlete turned mathematician turned decision scientist — with a contrarian, practitioner-first approach to decisions under uncertainty.
Expertise in mixed-integer programming, stochastic modeling, decomposition methods, and algorithm design for supply chain and logistics applications. Not interested in models that live in notebooks — only systems that ship and drive real outcomes.
Led end-to-end development of decision systems impacting $60B+ in annual planning decisions, including production planning, vehicle routing, scheduling, and demand-supply matching.
Co-founder of Bit Bros LLC with John Elam, where I author books, consult on decision intelligence, and design career programs for the next generation of data professionals. Former Data Content Lead at LeetCode, and advising a stealth startup in the optimization space.

The world doesn't need another dashboard. It needs decision systems that embrace uncertainty, run in production, and make money while you sleep. I build those.
"I have yet to see a data/decision scientist who drives a larger amount of direct business value — his projects generate new profit in excess of $100 million/year. He's the guy we put in charge of our most complex problems. He can dive deep into the technical details with our engineering teams, then turn around and explain the same concepts to executives in a way that actually makes sense."
"You know that feeling when you're facing a complex problem and you just can't see the optimal path? That's when you call Adam. He isn't just an expert in optimization; he's a master of navigating uncertainty. What truly sets him apart is his ability to bridge the gap between technical solutions and real-world business insight."
"I've had the pleasure of working closely with Adam at three companies. He didn't just build models. He reshaped how we think about modeling. He championed the use of advanced mathematical programming and Sequential Decision Analytics to bring uncertainty, simulation, and real-time feedback into our decision systems. His work directly influenced major strategic decisions and realized millions in additional profit."
"Adam comes to the problem of decisions under uncertainty without formal training in the field, which means he has the advantage of not having to unlearn his training. He's been able to start fresh, motivated by real problems. Listen to him carefully — he has a better understanding of how to make decisions under uncertainty than any of the mathematicians in this field."
