Senior Business Analyst — AI & Enterprise Transformation

I turn complex enterprise problems into quantified, adopted outcomes.

10+ years leading platform transformation, CCaaS delivery, and applied AI programs across BFSI, BPO, and transportation — architecting the business case, building the solution, and proving the value after go-live.

About

Requirements-to-results, not requirements-to-handoff.

I'm a Senior Business Analyst and Cloud Consultant based in the Chicago area, working across BFSI, BPO, and transportation clients to architect platform transformations, CCaaS deployments (Genesys Cloud CX, Amazon Connect, Twilio), and RPA automation — then staying through go-live to prove the business case was right.

My work is grounded in a simple discipline: define the metric before the project starts, build the solution with the people who'll actually use it, and measure the real outcome after launch — not just the projection. That pattern shows up across an $10M+ wealth management platform transformation, a 17-language AI customer service program, and roughly 15 production automation bots built end-to-end.

Outside client delivery, I stay hands-on with applied AI daily — building my own tools rather than just recommending them to others.

Case Studies

Selected engagements, with the numbers that followed.

Every engagement below started with a defined target and ended with a measured result — not just a delivered project.

Wealth & Treasury Platform Transformation
BARITA INVESTMENTS · BFSI · 11 ASSET CLASSES
Platform Strategy
Challenge

Barita needed to modernize its wealth and treasury management infrastructure across 11 distinct asset classes — with no unified requirements picture and a C-suite that needed a defensible investment case, not a vendor pitch.

Approach

Led an 11-BRD requirements program, mapping business rules and system behavior asset class by asset class, then built the financial model and business case from the ground up to support an $10M+ investment decision.

Outcome

Recommendation presented and adopted at the C-suite level — the platform transformation moved forward on the strength of a business case built to withstand executive scrutiny.

Multilingual AI Customer Service Platform
METROLINX (GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO) · TRANSIT · 17 LANGUAGES
Applied AI
Challenge

Metrolinx needed to handle roughly 500,000 annual customer interactions across a linguistically diverse ridership, without ballooning live-agent headcount — and needed a proven, measurable self-service target going in.

Approach

Architected an AI-powered virtual agent spanning 17 languages, defining the self-service deflection KPI upfront — a 70% target — before any part of the platform was built.

Outcome

Post-launch value-realization tracking confirmed the platform beat its own target — delivering measured savings, not just a projected one.

Production RPA Automation Program
BEACON ROOFING SUPPLY · SUPPLY CHAIN · AUTOMATION ANYWHERE
Process Automation
Challenge

Manual, repetitive workflows across supply chain operations were absorbing staff hours that could be redirected to higher-value work — but only where automation was the right fix, not just the available one.

Approach

Mapped 12 core workflows into specifications the development team could build directly against, then built the resulting bots hands-on rather than handing off a spec and walking away.

Outcome

Owned performance reporting and go-live sign-off across the full program, from first workflow map to production deployment.

Experience

A decade in enterprise delivery.

Chronological, because the trajectory matters as much as any single engagement.
