What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging Power BI, Power Platform and data stewardship to drive procurement and inventory insights in a collaborative, transformation-focused team where I can lead automation and improve data quality.

I am a data-driven business analyst with over three years' experience at Volvo Group's Global Bus Purchasing, specializing in Power BI, the Microsoft Power Platform, and supplier data stewardship.

I design and deploy interactive Power BI dashboards, manage ETL using Power Query and Databricks, and enforce data quality and governance standards for the supplier domain.

I drive process automation with Power Automate and Power Apps, manage SharePoint sites and workflows, and lead the PSC team at GTP India to ensure delivery alignment and stakeholder support while contributing to PI planning for the Data & AI Product Cluster.

Earlier roles in maintenance engineering and service management give me operational context and a mechanical engineering foundation; I also deliver trainings to raise data literacy and support digital transformation across purchasing teams.
