What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an enterprise-minded role where I can own requirements and governance, lead UAT/SIT and regression testing for ERP modernization, collaborate across IT and operations, and build automation with agentic AI—while keeping audit-ready compliance and controls.

I’m a Business Analyst and Asset Management Supervisor with 15+ years supporting large-scale system modernization, process optimization, and audit compliance across utilities, federal services, and K-12 education. I’ve managed a capital asset portfolio of 1.0 to 1.4 billion dollars and developed districtwide compliance policies and internal controls while delivering strong enterprise ERP testing expertise across Oracle Cloud, Oracle 11i, and PeopleSoft.

I bridge IT and operations through requirements gathering, rigorous SIT/UAT, and regression testing— including Identity and Access Management security integration and SailPoint AMP regression testing. After a 2025 reduction in force, I proactively designed and refined an agentic AI workflow using Claude (Anthropic) to automate multi-source research and criteria-based verification; I’m also Oracle Fusion AI Agent Studio certified (2025).
