Business Analyst leveraging data analytics and AI automation to deliver actionable insights.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Business Analyst focused on turning messy data into clear decisions—building pipelines, writing SQL, and delivering BI that stakeholders can act on immediately. At Deloitte, I built an automated ETL pipeline in Alteryx consolidating vendor data (including Concur and Salesforce) to support 500+ travel assessments across 30+ countries and save 6+ hours weekly.
I also use rigorous analytics to surface what matters: I developed SQL queries with JOINs, CTEs, and window functions to analyze 50K+ enterprise data, identify data gaps, and flag high-risk cases. I led requirements work across 10+ client engagements, creating BRDs, Visio process flows, and translating enterprise reporting workflows into functional requirements and reporting logic.
To scale impact with automation, I spearheaded 15+ AI chatbot use cases, documented requirements, created test cases, managed UAT in JIRA across 100+ queries, and reduced manual analysis by 30%. I deliver 20+ Power BI dashboards and KPI reports using DAX, and I’ve driven change management for International Assignment initiatives across 5+ clients—while also leading SDLC and fraud detection work at Ericsson, reducing fraudulent traffic by 35% and improving churn/retention metrics.
