Eloi Delva Logistics and Operations

Logistics, leadership, and operations technology

Army logistics leader who now runs systems

23 years of property accountability and First Sergeant leadership, plus fleet management, CRM, accounting, and multi-site work.

The work was people, property, and readiness. I still use that operating discipline in fleet management, client systems, hospitality, and the software I build so records stay owned, counted, and inspectable.

Leadership and logistics

Twenty-three years of active-duty service as a First Sergeant and 92Y Unit Supply Specialist. Held a U.S. Secret security clearance during Army service.

Leadership

First Sergeant

United States Army

Led, trained, evaluated, and mentored Soldiers and junior leaders. Owned the daily operating tempo: personnel, schedules, standards, and competing mission requirements.

  • Set and enforced performance standards and continuity procedures.
  • Kept communication clear when conditions and priorities changed.
  • Applied risk management and stayed accountable for outcomes.

Logistics

Unit Supply Specialist (92Y)

Property, supply, and readiness

Ran unit-level logistics: the flow of equipment and supplies from request through issue, use, inventory, and turn-in. The job was accurate records, on-time support, and no gaps in accountability.

  • Property accountability: hand receipts, inventories, and reconciliation of organizational equipment.
  • Supply operations: requisition, receipt, storage, issue, and turn-in of parts and end items.
  • Sensitive-item control: counted, documented, and safeguarded high-accountability property.
  • Readiness support: kept equipment and supplies aligned with mission and inspection requirements.
  • Documentation and inspections: maintained records that could stand a review and closed discrepancies.
  • Process control: repeatable checklists so the next shift or the next leader could continue the work.

How logistics shows up in software

Supply work is tracking, handoff, and proof. I use the same habits in software and CRM: know who owns the record, keep the count right, document the process, and stay steady when a release or an incident does not go as planned.

Army and database systems

Since 2015 I have designed MS Access and Microsoft 365 systems for the Army: property management, personnel management, mission trackers, and equipment transportation trackers. I have also built Access databases for daycares.

Community

I volunteer with Hope in the Streets and run youth STEM programs through Turtleback Robotics Academy across Virginia’s Tri-Cities region.

Commercial vehicles

Fleet management

I managed one box-truck fleet. I did not drive the trucks. The work was the assets, the schedule, the records, and staying inside the rules that apply to commercial vehicles.

Fleet management

One fleet, managed end to end

I was responsible for the fleet as an accountable set of vehicles: what was on the road, what it could legally carry, what was due next, and whether the paperwork would stand a review. Drivers ran the routes. I managed the fleet.

  • Asset control: registration, insurance, inspections, and maintenance on a schedule
  • Fleet coordination: dispatch support, availability, and turnaround
  • Load limits: cargo weight, axle loading, height, and securement requirements
  • Records: mileage, service, insurance, and inspection files

Same logistics habit as Army supply: know the property, know the limit, keep the record honest.

Laws, limits, and commercial-vehicle operations

Managing the fleet meant knowing the rules that decide whether a box truck is legal on a given road with a given load — federal motor-carrier rules where they apply, and Virginia limits for weight, size, and registration.

  • Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), axle ratings, and when a CDL is required
  • Weight, height, length, and width limits, including posted bridges and local restrictions
  • Registration, insurance minimums, and annual inspection requirements
  • Load securement and cargo that stays inside the vehicle’s rated capacity
  • Hours of service, medical certification, and duty status when the operation requires them
  • Interstate versus local work, and the extra records that come with crossing state lines

What I kept current

Compliance is part of managing a fleet, not an afterthought.

Airbnb and direct hospitality

Approximately nine properties, 800 booked nights, and more than 200 clients each year.

  • Reservation lifecycle from inquiry through checkout and follow-up
  • Calendars, cleaners, maintenance, turnovers, and issue resolution
  • Multi-property coordination in a time-sensitive service setting
  • Implemented short-term-rental channel managers since 2018: listings, guests, cleaners, and tasks

Property operations software

A planned service-management and direct-booking platform informed by that portfolio. Engineering detail is on the software page.

Supporting technical advantage

Technology and education as force multipliers

I also build the platforms and teach robotics. Those are advantages for an operations or contracting role, not a replacement for the logistics record. See software and robotics for the full technical story.

Operations, contracting, and program roles

I am interested in technical program management, government technology or logistics contracting, operations-technology, and implementation work. An operations-focused résumé is available on request.
