Message

At Deloitte, I designed the product front end and framework for an accounts payable tower AI agent using Claude. I also supported purchase-to-pay and record-to-report discovery, where proposed efficiency improvements represented roughly $15 million in potential client savings.

At Accenture, I worked on purchase-to-pay transformation across multiple clients. I implemented Celonis process mining and automation solutions, contributing to productivity of 50% against a 48% best-in-class benchmark.

Earlier, at Ernst & Young Global and Cognizant Technology Solutions Private Limited, I used process mining and automation to improve finance operations. My work has also included strategy and planning at HINDALCO Industries Limited and process engineering at Hindustan Electro Graphite (HEG Limited).
