Matthew Eastman 🏳️‍🌈

I recently left Google. I was part of the Unified Fulfillment Optimization organization, optimizing Google's supply chain by developing software to enable build-to-stock manufacturing of high-runner parts to increase the efficiency of our supply chain and improve on-time delivery of server capacity to our data centers.

Previously at Google I worked on modelling and simulating our supply chain using a discrete-event simulator to analyze scenarios that could impact order fulfillment. I also helped develop an inventory management system that provided near-realtime information on the status of inventory in our warehouses.

Before joining Google I was part of the Supply Chain Optimization Technologies organization at Amazon where I worked on simulating Amazon's supply chain network using a time-step simulator that replayed historical orders on modified versions of production systems in order to optimize the placement of future fulfillment centers.

I received a master's degree in Computer Science from Carleton University in Ottawa in 2014. I worked with the Computational Geometry Lab, where I drew lines and squiggles all day and somehow managed to pass it off as research. My supervisors were Anil Maheshwari and Michiel Smid.
