What I'm looking for

I’m seeking Business Analyst roles with complementary quality assurance work. I’m open to remote or hybrid opportunities, prefer contract roles but am open to permanent roles, and would welcome travel opportunities.

At BMW Group, I work as a Business Analyst and QA Lead on the customer-facing Digital Checkout Solution. I coordinate testing across four feature teams, develop test strategies, and support business analysis from requirements workshops through stakeholder feedback.

At BMW Group, I also supported the transition of two International Volume Planning products to South African teams. I documented requirements, created user stories, and facilitated workshops with business and development colleagues.

At Granadilla Insurance, I set up the test process and test projects from scratch, including five regression packs and automation for websites, mobile applications, and microservices. My experience spans business analysis, data analysis, and software testing, and I’m seeking Business Analyst roles with complementary quality assurance work.
