Summary

I am a seasoned Senior Functional Consultant and IT Business Analyst with over 11 years of proven experience leading complex digital transformation initiatives across ERP, core banking, and AI-driven platforms.

With a strong technical foundation, I ensure delivery excellence across functional, technical, and AI-centric domains.
