I am a pragmatic business analyst who revels in bridging the gap between business units. I have over 10 years experience across a blend of service and analytical positions in a diverse range of sectors that include payments systems, customer service, and information technology companies. Across these roles I have successfully applied my analytical and relationship building skills to help create solutions that are harmonious, functional, and customer focused.
I am competent in requirements elicitation and am experienced in drafting business centric documentation such as functional and non-functional requirements, use cases, concept and benefits papers, business process models etc. I have supported or led the successful delivery of numerous software development and cards scheme compliance projects using both Agile (Scrum) and Waterfall development and project methodologies, and have operated as a subject matter expert for data analysis and business reporting, with exposure to a number of business intelligence platforms including Microstrategy and Actuate.
Aside from my strong technical skills I am a diligent, forthright, and passionate individual and believe my affability, ability to develop strong relationships and dedication are my strongest assets.
