What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead discovery and requirements work, drive business process improvement, and deliver clear executive reporting—partnering with Agile teams from SDLC planning through production readiness.

I’m a Senior IT Business Analyst with eight years of experience partnering with business stakeholders and enterprise IT organizations to deliver technology solutions that improve operational efficiency and strengthen business processes. I lead requirements elicitation through discovery sessions, stakeholder interviews, and requirements workshops—then translate objectives into BRDs, FRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and process documentation.

In my recent work, I’ve supported multiple enterprise applications across the SDLC, built executive dashboards and KPI reporting for leadership decision-making, and coordinated timelines, deliverables, milestones, dependencies, and risk mitigation across concurrent initiatives. I also facilitate UAT and collaborate with developers, architects, QA, and product owners to ensure solutions meet documented business requirements—delivering measurable value such as reduced project delivery delays through improved governance and stakeholder engagement, plus standardized reporting dashboards that improved visibility into project health and delivery progress.
