SAP Analytics Cloud consultant specializing in BI, planning, forecasting, and predictive analytics with 8+ years end-to-end delivery.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) Consultant with 8.2+ years of end-to-end experience across Business Intelligence, Planning, Forecasting, and Predictive Analytics—from full SDLC implementation through ongoing project support. I’ve delivered solutions for Manufacturing, Automotive, Consumer Goods, Utility, Trading, and Shipping Logistics, bringing structure to complex business requirements.
I specialize in building SAC Planning Models, Data Actions, and Multi Actions, plus Forecasting and Budgeting capabilities that enable decision-ready planning workflows. I also enhance story interactivity using JavaScript to improve user experience and dynamic KPI calculations.
On the data side, I engineer reliable pipelines using SAP HANA views, HANA SQL scripting (including stored procedures), and S/4HANA CDS Views—often integrating with BW data sources and enabling seamless data integration through SAP Datasphere. I’ve leveraged SAP BDC for data migration to reduce manual effort and improve data accuracy across planning cycles.
I’m recognized for delivery excellence, including the “Maestro Implementer” award at PwC, and I consistently focus on measurable outcomes—improving forecast accuracy by ~30%, reducing manual reporting effort by 40%, and boosting query performance by 35%. I aim to help teams move faster with optimized models, admin visibility, and self-service insights.
