What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead data migration, improve compliance and data integrity, drive Agile delivery, and build actionable reporting in collaborative, audit-focused teams.

I am a Business Analyst with 8+ years of experience translating business objectives into clear epics, user stories, and testable acceptance criteria to deliver reliable, scalable solutions across banking, pharmaceuticals, networking, and higher education.

I lead data migration and reconciliation efforts, orchestrate Agile ceremonies, build Tableau/Excel dashboards for decision-making, and strengthen compliance (SOX/GDPR/PCI) and auditability while standardizing BA artifacts to improve cross-team knowledge transfer.
