AI E-Commerce OMS · WMS Supply Chain

Building the platforms that power global e-commerce.

Two decades shaping AI-native order management, e-commerce platforms, and supply chain systems for the retailers you know — and the ones you will.

On the subject

A technologist who bridges business and engineering — and still ships code on the weekend.

Portrait of Srikanth Kolli
Srikanth Kolli
Los Angeles, California

I'm a vision-driven technology leader with nearly twenty years of experience shaping enterprise platforms across retail, e-commerce, and supply chain. From headless commerce and DTC digital platforms to deep supply chain modernization, my work sits at the intersection of strategy and systems — the place where a roadmap becomes a running microservice.

I've led global teams scaling platforms for Urban Outfitters, Bass Pro Shops, Tractor Supply, Tory Burch, and O'Reilly Auto Parts. I'm now defining the enterprise architecture vision for Alo Yoga's global DTC e-commerce platform, OMS, and supply chain — cloud-native, API-first, and built to move.

When I'm not doing that, I'm building things with AI — a chess engine with GPT opponents, a RAG chatbot, a multi-agent AI movie studio. Because a leader who still ships is a leader who still understands.

What I build for fun — and to stay sharp.

A leader who can sketch an architecture on a whiteboard but can't open a terminal is half a leader. These are the flagship projects I've been shipping — reference implementations of the enterprise platforms I've spent twenty years advising on, built in conversation with modern AI tools.

Nº 01 Flagship · OMS

Kuberiva OMS

An AI-native order management system, reimagined.

A reference implementation of the enterprise OMS patterns I've spent twenty years shaping — order capture, orchestration, distributed sourcing, fulfillment routing, inventory visibility, and returns. AI-native from the core with intelligent decisioning, operational copilots, and event-driven automation layered into every workflow. Cloud-native, API-first, event-driven, Python. The architecture I'd build if I were starting from scratch today.

Nº 02 Flagship · WMS

Kuberiva WMS

An AI-native warehouse management system.

The companion to the OMS reference — a complete WMS covering receiving, putaway, slotting, wave and batch picking, packing, shipping, inventory control, cycle counts, and returns processing. AI-native capabilities drive dynamic slotting, pick-path optimization, workload balancing, and exception triage in real time. Designed as a modular, API-driven platform that pairs natively with the OMS to form an end-to-end fulfillment stack.
