Portfolio
Business Analyst & Project Coordinator
I'm Mahdi Shabanzadeh, a Warwick Business School graduate with experience in project coordination, business analysis, and stakeholder management. I'm interested in solving business problems through data, process improvement, and strategic thinking.
About Me
My career trajectory builds on a unique blend of structural discipline and strategic vision. Beginning with a solid technical foundation in Architecture, I developed deep analytical frameworks and spatial logic.
Driven by a passion for solving complex operational challenges, I transitioned into Business Strategy during my postgraduate studies at Warwick Business School. Today, I anchor this cross-functional expertise directly within Analytics and Automation—translating raw enterprise metrics into governed, real-time intelligence workflows.
