About

I turn messy business problems into clean, scalable solutions , and I use AI to do it faster than most. Over the past 6+ years, I've worked at the intersection of business strategy, data analytics, and technology implementation — across Finance and Procurement domains. I don't just gather requirements; I dig into broken processes, ask uncomfortable questions, and redesign workflows that actually work for the people using them. Some things I'm proud of: Reduced invoice processing time by 78% through a vendor payment automation system I designed end-to-end 🔹Cut end-to-end processing time by 85% — nominated for the Process Innovator Award by senior management 🔹 Brought order error rates down from 18% to 1.2% through a customer self-service portal redesign 🔹 Improved on-time vendor payments from 65% to 94% — purely through process clarity and structured automation My toolkit spans SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau, Advanced Excel, JIRA, and the full BA documentation stack — BRD, FRD, SRS, BPMN, UAT. I work across Agile/Scrum and Waterfall environments and have led deliveries across the complete SDLC. What sets me apart? I'm an AI-native BA. I actively use Generative AI and Prompt Engineering to compress requirement analysis cycles, auto-draft documentation, and surface insights faster. I believe the next generation of Business Analysts won't just document change — they'll architect it using AI as a co-pilot. Currently pursuing CBAP & PMP to formalize what I've been practicing on the ground. If you're looking for a BA who brings structure to ambiguity, numbers to narratives, and AI to execution — let's connect. I also love building financial models—DCF, LBO, budgeting—you name it. I'm that person who gets excited about cash flow projections and can spot financial inconsistencies from a mile away. But here's what really gets me pumped—AI! I'm honestly fascinated by how AI is changing our world. I spend my free time exploring prompt engineering, testing new AI tools, and thinking about how we can use artificial intelligence to make business analysis smarter, not just faster. I believe AI won't replace analysts like us, but analysts who use AI will definitely have an edge. Check my work :https://tinyurl.com/3fvd7jhf
