What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a results-driven Senior Business Systems Analyst with over seven years of experience in business systems analysis, product management, and fintech solutions. My career has been marked by a proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, finance, and compliance teams to enhance system efficiency and deliver seamless product solutions. I have a strong expertise in requirements gathering, stakeholder communication, and financial analytics, and I am passionate about leveraging data-driven insights to drive business objectives and system modernization.

In my recent role at T-Mobile, I led finance and fraud analytics initiatives, optimizing business processes for transaction monitoring and fraud detection across over 500,000 monthly financial transactions. I successfully managed end-to-end system implementation lifecycles, ensuring seamless integration of business and finance systems while reducing operational costs by 20%. My experience also includes launching successful projects at Philip Morris International and Mobile Telesystems, where I developed innovative solutions that significantly improved operational efficiency and customer acquisition.
