What I'm looking for

I seek a senior IT/business analyst role focused on enterprise financial systems, strong collaboration, SDLC ownership, and opportunities to improve security, compliance, and reporting.

I am an IT business analyst and QA tester with over 15 years of experience across information technology analysis, project leadership, program supervision, accounting, and fixed asset management. I bring deep subject-matter expertise in Oracle and PeopleSoft modules, financial system security administration, and practical experience with SailPoint IAM.

Throughout my career I have led major system upgrades and cross-functional initiatives, directed UAT across multiple systems, and delivered regression testing and requirements for IAM upgrades. I prioritize clear stakeholder communication, risk assessment, and early issue identification to strengthen project outcomes.

My background includes hands-on financial audit support, advanced data analysis to uncover root causes, and extensive work in SDLC activities including defect management and integration testing. I have driven compliance and governance efforts for large-scale asset portfolios and improved processes that reduced audit findings and corrected material errors.

I am results-driven, collaborative, and skilled at translating business requirements into tested, sustainable solutions. I seek to apply my technical and financial systems expertise to help organizations improve system reliability, security, and reporting accuracy. Eager to learn how AI may assist them as well.
