About Me

Driving AI Innovation, Cloud Observability, and Scalable Infrastructure - Omar Morales is a Machine Learning Engineer and SRE Leader with over a decade of experience bridging AI-driven automation with large-scale cloud infrastructure. His work has been instrumental in optimizing observability, predictive analytics, and system reliability across multiple industries, including logistics, geospatial intelligence, and enterprise cloud services. Omar has led ML and cloud observability initiatives at Sysco LABS, where he has integrated Datadog APM for performance monitoring and anomaly detection, cutting incident resolution times and improving SLO/SLI compliance. His work in infrastructure automation has reduced cloud provisioning time through Terraform and Kubernetes, making deployments more scalable and resilient. Beyond Sysco LABS, Omar co-founded SunCity Greens, a small and local AI-powered agriculture and supply chain analytics indoor horticulture farm that leverages predictive modeling to optimize farm-to-market logistics serving farm-to-table chefs and eateries. His AI models have successfully increased crop yield efficiency by 30%, demonstrating the real-world impact of machine learning on localized supply chains. Prior to these roles, Omar worked as a Geospatial Applications Analyst Tier 2 at TELUS International, where he developed predictive routing models using TensorFlow and Google Maps API, reducing delivery times by 20%. He also has a strong consulting background, where he has helped multiple enterprises implement AI-driven automation, real-time analytics, ETL batch processing, and big data pipelines. Omar holds multiple relevant certifications and is on track to complete his Postgraduate Certificate (PGC) in AI & Machine Learning from the Texas McCombs School of Business. He is deeply passionate about AI innovation, system optimization, and building highly scalable architectures that drive business intelligence and automation. When he’s not working on AI/ML solutions, Omar enjoys virtual reality sim racing, amateur astronomy, and building custom PCs.
