Business Analyst | Process Optimization | ERP & Power BI Analytics

I turn business requirements into working ERP processes and reliable reporting.

Business Analyst with 4 years in the UAE across contracting and real estate. I bridge business users and ERP developers on Odoo and 1C FirstBit: documenting requirements (BRD and FRD), redesigning workflows, running UAT and data migration, and training users. My SQL and Power BI dashboards give management a clear view of project cost against budget and leasing performance.

How I map a process

Procure-to-pay, simplified. One of the five cycles I mapped (P2P, O2C, Project-to-Cash, Hire-to-Retire, Record-to-Report). Dashed boxes show the stock check and the in-stock path. Select a step. Swipe sideways to see the whole flow.

Approval matrix: purchase request

The site engineer raises the request. The project manager approves every request first; each higher value band adds the next approver, in order from left to right. A request above the project's remaining budget goes one level up, whatever its value. Thresholds are illustrative.
