Sidra Hassan
@sidrahassan
Senior IT/ERP transformation leader specializing in AI and Microsoft Power Platform architecture for executive-ready analytics.
What I'm looking for
I lead enterprise-scale digital transformation across ERP, AI, and data analytics ecosystems, turning fragmented business data into intelligent, automated, insight-driven platforms for executive leadership. With 20+ years of experience, I focus on building solutions that are scalable, governed, and truly user-centric.
As Senior Manager IT / ERP at Infrastructure Development Authority of Punjab (IDAP) (June 2016 – Present), I modernize ERP and BI for Finance, HR, Procurement, Payroll, and Project Management. I oversee the full ERP lifecycle—from requirement analysis to post-go-live governance—driving 100% adoption and compliance, while ensuring role-based access and sustainable operations through governance, vendor SLAs, and training frameworks.
I architect Microsoft Power Platform solutions that unify operations: I built 300+ enterprise dashboards and designed KPI-driven Power BI storytelling with real-time analytics. I also automate 50+ workflows and cut manual reporting/processing by up to 80%, integrating ERP, SharePoint, GIS, and AI-driven insights into a single decision platform. Across my work, I’ve configured and deployed 20+ ERP modules end-to-end and managed 1,500+ users (current & left) securely.
My AI and automation mindset is practical and delivery-focused: I’ve developed an agentic AI WhatsApp Bot for procurement insights, built RAG-based decision responses, created generative media automation workflows, and delivered an AI Resume Analyzer using Hugging Face + Streamlit. Earlier in my career, I spent 9+ years in GIS and urban analytics at The Urban Unit (Lahore), leading mapping and geospatial dashboards that strengthened data-driven planning.
