Senior Business Analyst · SAP FI/CO · Data & Analytics

I turn business complexity into strategic clarity.

Working at the intersection of enterprise systems, data, and human decision-making — to build organizations that run smarter.

01 / Who I Am

The person behind
the process.

I'm Sohrab — a Senior Business Analyst, data specialist, and educator based in Baku, Azerbaijan. For over seven years, I've worked where strategy meets execution: in the room when organizations decide to change, and still there when the change actually happens.

Today my work runs on two tracks — leading SAP FI/CO implementation at Azerbaijan Railways, and teaching business analysis at Code Academy. Before that, three years consulting on AI-powered government projects at Eurodesign CSJC, and four years building product operations at Kibrit Tech.

Along the way I've learned that clarity is never just a language problem — it's always a thinking problem first.

02 / What I Do

Three things I'm
exceptionally good at.

a

Systems & Process Design

I lead complex system implementations — SAP FI/CO, ERP migrations, AI integrations — from requirements through go-live. I make sure the technology fits the business, not the other way around.

  • SAP FI/CO
  • AS-IS / TO-BE Analysis
  • ERP Integration
  • Change Management
b

Turning Data Into Decisions

From raw operational data to executive dashboards: I design KPI frameworks, business data models, and reporting systems that give leadership the visibility to make confident decisions.

  • Power BI / Tableau
  • KPI Design
  • SQL · Python · R
  • Excel Data Models
  • ML Requirements
c

Education & Mentoring

I teach business analysis at Code Academy — SDLC, systems analysis, UML, BPMN, Agile, and requirements engineering, then mentor students through real-world projects. Sharing how to think about problems creates more solutions than any single consultant ever could.

03 / My Story

Complexity is never
the enemy.
Confusion is.

I grew up believing the best solutions come from understanding people first, systems second. That belief has shaped every project I've taken on.

After more than seven years at the crossroads of enterprise technology and business strategy, I've built a practice around one core idea: my job is not to deliver documents — it's to change how organizations think.

At Azerbaijan Railways, I'm helping one of the country's largest enterprises rethink its financial and operational systems from the ground up — SAP FI/CO alongside digitalization of scheduling, ticketing, logistics, and maintenance analytics. At Code Academy, I'm training the analysts who will tackle problems I haven't even seen yet. At Eurodesign, I spent three years bridging AI research and government policy.

Each role asks the same fundamental question: what does this organization actually need, and what's standing in the way? That question is what gets me to the whiteboard every morning.
