About

I build the reporting and automation layer behind internal audit work. Power BI dashboards, Power Apps, and SQL and Python control tests that run on a schedule instead of by hand. Right now I'm leading SOX control automation for a Fortune 500 insurance client, moving control tests off legacy ACL scripts into Python jobs scheduled in Autosys. I also built their risk assessment platform, which collects structured responses from about 65 people across the business and feeds a scoring model with Power BI reporting on top. That work went in front of their Chief Audit Executive. Before that I spent three years building continuous monitoring dashboards across accounts payable, accounts receivable, travel and expense, payroll, revenue and general ledger, for clients in insurance, automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, supply chain and food and beverage. What made them worth having was what they caught: duplicate payments, expenses filed just under the approval threshold every time, entries posted in the middle of the night, payroll still running to people who had left. Five years at Grant Thornton, promoted twice, now Assistant Manager. In my free time, I like to play around with AI, I have built a weather app on Android, a Claude code skill to scourge through the Indian job boards and find relevant matches and try to solve some HackerRank SQL questions. Power BI, SQL, Python, DAX, Power Query, Power Apps, Power Automate, Alteryx, Azure SQL, Archer.

Work experience

Assistant Manager at Grant Thornton INDUS, Jan 2026 - Present · 9 mos, Bengaluru, Running analytics and automation for a Fortune 500 insurance client's internal audit and SOX programme. I lead their SOX control automation work. Control tests that have lived in legacy ACL scripts for years are being rebuilt in Python and scheduled in Autosys, so they run on their own instead of someone working through them by hand every quarter. The other large piece is a risk assessment platform. Responses come in through a Power App, land in SharePoint, and feed a scoring model with Power BI reporting on top. About 65 people across the business use it, and it went in front of the client's Chief Audit Executive. I wrote the methodology documentation behind it and built a standard set of Copilot prompts, so risk scoring works the same way across every auditable entity instead of depending on who happens to be doing it. Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, SQL, Python, Autosys, SharePoint, Archer.

Also built Power Apps for issue logging, with a Power BI report embedded behind row-level security so people only saw their own data, plus apps for competency assessment and resource scheduling. Automated the reminder and approval workflows in Power Automate, which took 10 to 15 hours a week off the team. Led four engagements start to finish.
