What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior business analysis role in regulated domains where I can own BRD/FRS delivery, drive process automation and SQL-based analytics, and apply AI-enhanced analyst workflows to ship audit-ready outcomes with strong stakeholder alignment.

I’m a Senior Business Analyst and independent consultant with 13+ years delivering enterprise systems, financial analytics, and process-automation projects in regulated environments. I lead full-lifecycle work—design through build and deployment—with a strong track record of audit-ready documentation, stakeholder alignment, and outcome-focused delivery.

My depth is in SQL-driven data analysis, BRD authorship, and process modeling (BPMN/UML/Mermaid), backed by hands-on financial analytics for lending eligibility and risk screening. From operational teams to board-level review, I translate business intent into clear requirements, gap analyses, and implementation-ready specifications—then validate through UAT.

Most recently, I led the end-to-end design/build/deployment of a financial-services CRM with integrated loan-origination analytics for a 100+ user, 63-branch institution. I also bring AI-enhanced analyst workflows into daily practice, plus modern cloud and data tooling, to help teams ship compliant solutions faster and with stronger automation.
