What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can combine ERP functional work and data analytics to drive process optimization, digital transformation, and measurable finance outcomes in cross-functional, growth-focused teams.

I am a business analyst with over six years' experience across business analysis, accounting, and data analytics, known for directing ERP implementations and improving operational efficiency. I combine finance domain knowledge with systems analysis to deliver measurable outcomes.

I have led Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central configurations, produced Functional Requirements Documents and Fit-Gap Analyses, and supported UAT and end-user training to achieve high adoption and 95% client satisfaction. I also improved revenue collections, reduced overdue receivables, and minimized account discrepancies through process optimization.

Technically, I apply Python, R, SQL, Power BI, Tableau and related tooling to generate dashboards, automate analysis, and build NLP models that enhance customer engagement. I am proactive, experienced in remote and cross-functional environments, and focused on driving digital transformation and data-driven decision-making.
