About Me

I'm a Results-driven Business Analyst with 5.5 years of experience in end-to-end requirements engineering, ERP implementation, and data-driven product development β€” primarily within the Cosmetics & Beauty domain.

I've delivered 3 major cross-functional projects from requirements gathering all the way through UAT and go-live. I speak the language of both business and technology, translating complex stakeholder needs into structured BRDs, FRDs, and SOPs that development teams can actually build from.

Beyond the job description, I build things. GKZipPDF is a live production app I ideated, documented, tested, and deployed myself. The Swiggy Insta-Bundles proposal shows I think like a Product Manager β€” spotting user friction and proposing measurable solutions.

I believe a great BA doesn't just document requirements β€” they drive outcomes.
