What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own backlogs, translate regulated requirements into clear user stories, and deliver reliable SQL/API integrations with strong Agile execution and audit-ready documentation.

I’m a Senior Business Analyst and Product Owner (CSPO) with 6+ years of experience leading end-to-end project lifecycles in highly regulated healthcare, insurance, and enterprise technology environments. I’m known for translating complex business needs into precise functional specifications, high-quality user stories, and data mappings—so delivery stays accurate and audit-ready.

I leverage SQL, data engineering, and REST APIs to implement compliance-grade systems with 99.9% accuracy. In my most recent role, I improved processing efficiency by 50% through Secure File Transfer automation, rebuilt a legacy bulk ingestion workflow that eliminated over $100K in annual consulting costs, and ensured data integrity through root-cause analysis of integration failures.

As a Technical Product Owner, I solely owned end-to-end backlogs for two enterprise SaaS platforms, managing requirements through release using Azure DevOps and Jira across 2-week Agile sprint cycles. I elicited and converted complex business, data, and regulatory requirements into Epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional specifications—then coordinated UAT, release management, and post-implementation verification. I also improved development velocity by 30% and raised operational efficiency by 25%, reducing IT spend by 15% through disciplined sprint planning and proactive blocker removal.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a Business Analyst & Go-Live Consultant, leading workshops and interviews, producing functional artifacts (use cases, data flow diagrams, process maps), and supporting go-live deployments across multiple healthcare organizations. I bring a stakeholder-first approach from workshop leadership to executive reporting, and I’m immediately available to help teams build reliable, governed products.
