About

Ismail Ahmadi — AI and automation specialist, with the Vancouver skyline and data streams

I'm a Business Systems Analyst who connects business needs with practical technology. My experience spans digital product analytics, ERP implementation, e-commerce systems, and workflow improvement..

In my work here in Canada, I progressed from analyzing website and customer performance to mapping and configuring ERP workflows, and then to leading broader systems migration, automation, and user adoption. This progression taught me to examine problems from both sides to know what the business needs and what the technology must do.

Earlier in my career, I configured and customized ERPNext for a client, and helped a B2B supply-chain company move inventory, purchasing, and sales processes from spreadsheets into a centralized ERP system.

My Computer Science background and Full-Stack .NET Cloud Developer training from Humber College in Toronto help me communicate effectively with developers and understand data, integrations, and technical tradeoffs. I also enjoy exploring applied AI and sharing what I learn with others.

"A very quick learner who applies what he learns immediately. A wonderful work ethic — he always takes the initiative to find solutions himself before asking for help. He'll be valuable to any team."

— Tony Ta, Founder of CloudE8

"Since 2018, Ismail has won my trust and admiration — earnest, open, and relentlessly driven to learn. He gives back to every community he's part of."

— Joy Lee, Executive Director

"Outstanding test scores — among the highest in our Center's history — and a valuable resource to his faculty and classmates. Any employer would benefit from his intelligence, his interpersonal skills, and his drive."

— Dr. Lauren Clarke, Vice Rector

How I work

One process, three stages.

Tap each stage to see how it works. Applied AI supports the process throughout but data and judgment lead.

01 · primary

Discover and Analyze

Map current workflows, gather stakeholder requirements, and identify the real problem before recommending a solution.

02

Design and Implement

Translate requirements into future-state processes, configure platforms, and lead migrations, integrations, and rollout.

03

Validate and Improve

Test functionality and data, support user adoption, and continuously refine the system based on real performance.

Discover and Analyze. Before I recommend anything, I map how work actually happens by talking to stakeholders, reviewing usage data and feedback, and tracing problems back to their root cause rather than their symptoms. This stage sets the direction for everything that follows.
Design and Implement. I turn validated requirements into working systems by configuring or migrating platforms, building integrations, and planning rollout so the transition is smooth for the people who'll use it daily. Applied AI often speeds up this stage for accelerating research, documentation, and repetitive setup work but platform and configuration decisions are grounded in the business requirements, not the tool.
Validate and Improve. A system isn't done at launch. I test functionality and data accuracy, support the team through adoption, and monitor real performance then iterate based on what the data and users actually show, not assumptions.
