Connecting Business Requirements with Enterprise Technology
"Software creates value only when it mirrors real-world business processes. Success comes from deeply understanding stakeholder operations, mapping structured workflows, and ensuring rigorous quality validation."
I built my educational foundation through a Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) from Smt. Kasturbai Walchand College, Sangli (2018–2021), followed by a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) from CSIBER, Kolhapur (2021–2023). My early career began as a Web Developer Intern at Zerovaega Technologies, where I developed administrative modules and content workflows using ProcessWire CMS and PHP/MySQL.
Joining IMR Tech Solutions (parent: Introspective Market Research) as the founding IT hire, I was promoted to Full Stack Developer & Technical Team Lead. Leading technical and functional operations, I managed agile sprints in Atlassian Jira, advised clients on functional platform requirements, authored system architecture blueprints, and led engineering deliveries for multi-tenant SaaS products (including an enterprise HRMS platform and digital client systems).
At TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) as a Transformation Manager with TCS iON, I drive manufacturing ERP transformation workflows. I interface directly with client leadership to elicit business requirements, analyze operational procedures, and configure structured ERP module workflows across Production Engineering & BOM (Bill of Materials), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), and Order-to-Cash (O2C). In parallel, I conduct Angular frontend screen testing, execute automated Postman API test collections across Dev, QA, Staging, and UAT, log and triage defects in Atlassian Jira, and coordinate user enablement and UAT execution.
Professional Interests & Aspirations: I actively explore emerging enterprise application software, analyzing software features, usability workflows, and system architectures to continuously blend technical depth with functional acumen, growing toward Enterprise Delivery and Associate Project Manager responsibilities.
