Senior Business Analyst

Turning complexity into decisions that hold

I work with organizations navigating ambiguity — translating stakeholder intent into precise requirements, revealing the gaps that derail delivery, and building the analytical ground floor that projects need to succeed.

Where I work best

◈

Requirements Engineering

Stakeholder interviews, gap analysis, and writing requirements that engineering and business both stand behind — without ambiguity left for the sprint to resolve.

◈

Process Redesign

Current-state mapping, bottleneck identification, and future-state blueprints that are operationally realistic — not theoretical flowcharts that gather dust.

◈

Data Analysis & Reporting

Turning raw operational data into the decision-supporting view leadership actually needs. SQL, Excel, Power BI — chosen by fit, not habit.

◈

Stakeholder Alignment

Bridging the translation gap between technical teams and business owners. Facilitating workshops where competing priorities surface and resolve.

◈

Digital Transformation

Business case development, vendor evaluation, and change readiness assessment for organizations mid-transformation who need a steady analytical hand.

◈

Agile Delivery Support

Product backlog refinement, user story writing, and sprint planning participation that keeps delivery aligned to business value — not just velocity.

How I approach the work

I don't arrive with a template. Every engagement starts with a genuine attempt to understand what the organization actually needs — which is usually different from what was put in the brief.

My job is to ask the question that reveals the real constraint, document it so it can't be argued about later, and translate it cleanly enough that delivery teams can act on it without a translator.

Listen before framing

The first priority is understanding — not fitting the problem into a methodology. I spend the early sessions listening, and only then reach for tools.

Make the implicit explicit

Assumptions left unstated become the cracks that projects fall into. I surface them in workshops and get them on record — agreed or challenged.

Document to last, not to comply

Deliverables are written for the next analyst who picks up the work in two years — not to fill a template or close a project phase.

Own the ambiguity, not just the output

When the path forward is unclear, I stay at the table. A good analyst doesn't hand off uncertainty — they reduce it until the team can move.
