As a Techno-Functional Consultant marked a major turning point in my career it’s where I grew from a junior model builder into L3 Certified Professional Model Builder; someone trusted to lead critical projects, deliver strategic impact, and work directly with global teams. I’ve worked hands-on building planning models that simplify chaos, from designing allocation and forecasting frameworks to streamlining entire business processes that were once scattered across spreadsheets. I’ve translated those processes into connected, scalable Anaplan solutions that users across different departments and geographies rely on every day. I’ve stepped up and led delivery, built over 80% of solutions, and guided stakeholders through changes. These experiences shaped not just my technical skills, but also my confidence in leading from the front. A few things I’m most proud of: • Built planning models from the ground up: enabling better forecasting, collaboration, and faster decisions • Simplified complex business logic into user-friendly designs, workflows, and dashboards • Collaborated directly with international teams across time zones, learning to communicate clearly, listen deeply, and deliver what matters • Supported UAT, testing, defect resolution, and go-lives under tight timelines • Mentored end-users and client-side teams, creating documents, guides, and even training sessions that made the solution stick • Handled real-time production incidents, learning how to stay calm, troubleshoot fast, and find the root cause • Worked across industries, which helped me build versatility and spot patterns across finance, retail, supply chain, and operations This role has shaped me into a resilient, curious, and impact-driven professional: someone who thrives at the intersection of technology and business. And the journey’s just getting started.
