I’m Mukesh Karn, a UNHCR professional with more than 15 years of experience spanning business analysis, information management, data science, business intelligence, systems integration and humanitarian operations across headquarters and field environments.
My work sits at the intersection of operational needs, enterprise systems and analytics. I translate complex business processes into usable data models, dashboards, controls and digital solutions while keeping field realities at the centre.
The core of my work is practical translation: turning policy, business processes and operational needs into structured data, reliable workflows and decision-ready products.
I bring a field-informed view to enterprise systems and analytics, connecting the needs of colleagues in operations with the design of dashboards, controls, reporting models and digital tools.
A cross-functional profile shaped by humanitarian information management, corporate systems, analytics and programme delivery.
Power BI, SQL-based analysis, data modelling, quality controls, operational dashboards and executive decision support.
Requirements analysis, process mapping, stakeholder coordination, controls design and translating policy into workable systems.
Humanitarian data workflows, registration and identity data, assessment systems, monitoring and operational data governance.
Work across platforms such as Workday, COMPASS, Cloud ERP, ActivityInfo, SharePoint, Azure and Microsoft Power Platform.
Modernizing manual workflows through structured databases, Power Apps, automation, APIs and scalable reporting architecture.
Field experience supporting protection, cash, registration, population data, legal aid, winterization and emergency response.
