Introduction
Harikrishna Sureshkumar Pillai
I work at the intersection of business workflows, data platforms, and AI systems in regulated environments.
Focus & Scope
Business Systems Analyst with 5+ years of experience supporting enterprise data and platform initiatives in regulated financial environments. Experienced in translating business workflows and operational needs into clear, scalable requirements for cloud-based data and analytics platforms across Azure and Databricks. Regularly partners with engineering, data, risk, and compliance teams to ensure solutions are reliable, auditable, and fit for production use. Increasingly involved in initiatives where data products and platforms are designed to support AI and advanced analytics use cases, with a focus on data readiness, governance, and responsible usage.
I work on problems where systems correctness is paramount. In my experience at CIBC and BSC Corp, I've seen how critical it is to bridge the gap between technical data silos and the actual business workflows they are meant to support.
Whether it's preparing enterprise data platforms for AI/ML integration or ensuring SQL-driven reconciliation frameworks meet regulatory standards, I focus on building reliable, auditable, and scalable systems.
