Professional profile

Where procurement experience meets analytical discipline.

I am a procurement and supply chain professional with 8+ years of experience across automotive manufacturing, railway and infrastructure projects, EPC procurement and U.S.-based fulfillment operations.

My work covers direct-material and BOM-based sourcing, NPI supplier readiness, BOQ procurement, technical-commercial evaluation, contract administration, inventory planning and supply continuity. I use SAP MM, ERP systems, Excel and Power BI to strengthen visibility and decision-making.

As an MBA candidate at Drexel University, I am building on that practical foundation through Applied AI in Business, with a focus on data-driven supply chain and procurement leadership.
