GeorgiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Business Analyst with 9+ years of experience delivering enterprise technology solutions across banking, insurance, finance, healthcare, and e-commerce. I focus on requirements engineering, stakeholder management, process improvement, and Agile delivery—turning complex needs into clear BRDs, user stories, and SDLC-ready specifications.
Recently, I expanded into AI-powered business analysis using Claude, ChatGPT, and n8n-style workflow orchestration to accelerate discovery, documentation, and business process optimization. I’ve delivered 320+ enterprise reporting solutions using Cognos and IBM Planning Analytics (TM1), reduced manual effort by approximately 120 hours weekly through AI-enabled workflow automation, and used KPI-driven analytics to reduce surveillance vendor spend by nearly 20%.
