About

I'm a Business Systems Analyst at Cisco, Bengaluru, working at the intersection of Finance IT, SOX Compliance, and AI Governance. My work revolves around ITGC/ITAC testing, risk assessments, and audit readiness bridging IT and audit teams across enterprise systems like Oracle Fusion ERP covering Procure-to-Pay, Capital, Supply Chain, and CRM-integrated financial processes. What excites me most is the convergence of compliance and AI ; I'm currently working on a SOX controls automation platform, and have led AI/ML application risk assessments aligned with NIST AI RMF and COBIT 2019. Before this, I was a Technical Consulting Engineer at Cisco, supporting Fortune 500 clients across data center and virtualization environments, building Python automation tools that improved efficiency by 30%. I hold a Master's in Data Science & AI from BITS Pilani and am a certified CISA | CRISC | CCNP | DevNet professional. Outside of work, I enjoy painting, interior design, and music , these creative outlets that keep me curious and balanced.
