Rakan Karajeh

Hi, I'm Rakan. I'm a chemical engineering student at Waterloo, based in Toronto.

I work on the operations side of things: supply chains, factory floors, and small businesses that run on spreadsheets.

Right now, I'm a Supply Chain Intern at PepsiCo, where I work on fill rate. My focus is external plan communication: making sure the supply plan agreed inside the building is the same plan our external partners are executing against, so fewer orders ship short.

Before that I was a Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Cleveland Range, redesigning how 800+ parts were stored and writing the VBA tools operators used every shift. On the side I run Pure Property Cleans, a cleaning company I co-founded in the GTA.

You can look through my experience and projects, or read Field Notes, where I write down what I'm learning about operations, what went wrong, and what I'd do differently.
