Senior Business Analyst

Payments · ERP Integrations · Digital Transformation

I don't just write requirements — I build systems. With 7+ years across energy, fintech, and e-commerce, I've designed workflows from the field up: configuring low-code platforms on-site, defining fraud detection logic for national regulators, and owning a support platform end-to-end. I bridge business, technical, and vendor teams to deliver things that actually go live.

About

I'm a Senior Business Analyst with 7+ years of experience turning complex business problems into working software. My career spans energy infrastructure, fintech/payments, and e-commerce — industries where the cost of getting it wrong is high.

I'm comfortable owning the full BA lifecycle: discovery, requirements engineering, stakeholder alignment, API-level integration mapping, UAT, and post-go-live support. I've worked on-site at distribution centers, inside government regulatory frameworks, and directly with development teams shipping production code.

What sets me apart: I can read a JSON payload, trace a BPMN flow, and present the same problem to a C-suite in plain language — without losing accuracy at any layer.

Outside of work, I enjoy building side projects with AI-assisted development — from stock market analysis tools to automated data pipelines — bridging the gap between business thinking and working software.
