What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Business Analyst role in fintech/digital transformation where I can own requirement scoping, SRS/FRD/NFRD documentation, and stakeholder communication—working closely with product, engineering, and QA to ship remittance, eKYC, and mobile/web features.

I’m a Business Analyst focused on fintech and digital transformation, helping teams turn regulatory requirements into clear documentation, user stories, and build-ready designs. I’ve worked across banking, crypto, mobile wallets, cross-border money transfer/remittance, and eKYC initiatives.

In my most recent role at Apexchange, I defined project scope and objectives, gathered requirements from BNM and other stakeholders, and supported development and QA through SRS/FRD/NFRD documentation, mockups, and test-case assistance. I also reviewed developer deliverables for system testing and communicated status updates to stakeholders.

Previously, I supported solution design and delivery at Eb Pearls and Connecting Creations—managing project status, coordinating meetings, and working with Jira to track tasks and reporting. I helped translate requirements into wireframes, user flows, mockups, and high-fidelity design iterations, ensuring alignment with technical constraints.

Earlier, as a Junior Business Analyst / Business Analyst at Infincare, I supported API integration, requirement documentation, and QA/operational testing, while facilitating Agile execution and knowledge sharing with developers. I bring strong documentation discipline, interface/API design awareness, and an ownership mindset to every project.
