What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end requirements and governance in regulated domains, partnering with Compliance and engineering to deliver build-ready BRDs/FRDs, strong UAT execution, and clear requirements traceability—while mentoring teams across distributed stakeholders.

I’m a Lead Business Analyst with 9+ years of experience translating complex regulatory, domain, and business requirements into clear, build-ready BRDs/FRDs. I specialize in extracting clarity from ambiguity and bridging business and technical stakeholders so engineering teams can execute with confidence.

In my current role, I lead requirements engineering and stakeholder governance across multiple independent tax-compliance product assets serving 50K+ tax practitioners. I own end-to-end UAT planning and sign-off coordination across 3+ distributed engineering teams, and I maintain requirements traceability linking 150+ requirements to design, test cases, and release scope.

I’ve consistently driven measurable improvements through structured gap analysis and governance cadence—identifying and documenting 15+ critical gaps in asset integration workflows. I partner closely with Compliance, Risk, and Finance SMEs to translate legal statutes and regulatory parameters into user stories and acceptance criteria that teams can execute against.

Earlier, I owned requirements gathering, documentation, and UAT execution for B2B logistics SaaS platforms, standardized specification formats across parallel products, and improved requirements clarity and engineering delivery velocity. I also led a team of 5 junior BAs, coached requirement-writing and stakeholder management best practices, and delivered identity verification (KYC) workflows across multiple regulatory jurisdictions, including test scenarios for happy paths and edge cases.
