I’m a client-focused Senior Systems & Business Analyst translating stakeholder needs into developer-ready specifications and product delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a client-focused Senior IT professional with cross-sector experience across Health & Wellness, Banking, Telecommunications, Medical, and Municipal environments. My core strength is translating complex stakeholder needs into precise, developer-ready technical specifications, bridging business vision and technical delivery through structured analysis, system design, and full lifecycle ownership.
I’ve delivered enterprise systems in regulated, high-complexity settings and owned outcomes end-to-end in SAFe Agile environments as both Senior Systems Analyst and Product Owner. At Vitality Global, I drove continuous systems analysis for mobile platforms and translation pipelines—resolving deployment bottlenecks, sustaining multi-language delivery, and guiding decommissioning with reduced operational risk—while mentoring teams to deliver under tight timelines.
