Quantitative Operations

I’m Michael Zhao, a high school junior passionate about business analytics and operations. I’m fascinated by how numbers tell stories, such as stories about why customers behave the way they do, how companies grow (or stall), and how small tweaks in strategy or systems can unlock major results.

​

Through this blog, I’m exploring the business world through the lens of data, strategy, and systems thinking. I’ll be sharing what I’m learning along the way, from building a pricing model to understanding how supply chains impact brand trust. My goal is to turn my curiosity into insight and to connect with others who are equally excited by the power of business analytics.

Whether you're a fellow student, a curious thinker, or a business professional, I’m glad you're here. Let’s learn something new together.
