Illustrative ranked match classes · not real data

This is industry work described in general terms. Employer names, data, and screenshots are intentionally left out, and the chart above is illustrative.

01The problem

Aged inventory tied up cash while new material was ordered for jobs it could have filled. Matching by hand meant comparing detailed chemistry and specs line by line.

02What I built

  • Hybrid retrieval with Azure AI Search, combining keyword search, vector embeddings, and structured filters
  • Domain rules turned into code: 15-element chemistry tolerances, safety rejects, and ranked match classes
  • AI agents on Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI that propose matches, with an independent validator that checks each one against the rules
  • Integration with Microsoft Graph and SharePoint so results land where the team already works

03The result

  • Buyers get ranked, explainable matches instead of searching by hand
  • Every AI suggestion is verified against hard rules before anyone acts on it
