What I'm looking for

I’m open to Head/Lead BA-SA roles and Lead/Principal System Analyst positions, ideally remote or hybrid in Astana. I want to lead hands-on analysis, build scalable functions, and drive delivery transformation in fintech and banking environments.

I’m a Head/Lead/Senior Business and System Analysis professional with 17+ years overall experience and 7+ years in IT across fintech, banking, telecom, and product environments. I bring hands-on system analysis depth plus leadership that helps organizations build scalable analysis capabilities.

I’ve built and led Business/System Analysis competency centers in large transformation environments, managing teams of 20+, 30+, and 70+ specialists. I focus on improving collaboration between business and engineering through stronger requirement management, delivery alignment, and repeatable ways of working.

From retail loans and digital banking to payment products and telecom-fintech delivery, I lead cross-functional initiatives across business, product, engineering, and delivery. My strengths are shaping delivery processes, driving complex initiatives, and scaling analysis and engineering functions while mentoring teams and strengthening organizational scalability.
