Summary

An experienced Business Analyst with over 4 years of expertise in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), I specialize in consumer lending and have a deep understanding of all project phases, from requirements gathering to post-implementation support. I'm proficient in both Agile and Waterfall methodologies, and have successfully managed multiple projects simultaneously, including the development of web and mobile applications for the US mortgage industry.

  • Stakeholder Management: I effectively coordinate with diverse teams, including development, testing, UAT, third-party vendors, and business end-users, to ensure seamless project execution.
  • Documentation & Analysis: I excel at translating business requirements into technical documentation like BRDs and FSDs and create detailed process models using Visio diagrams (Use Case, Sequence, and Activity diagrams) to design business models and integration mapping.
