Business Analyst

Mar 2022 - now

  • Translated claims-workflow requirements into a user story and acceptance criteria in Jira; documented exception rules and obtained business review before developers estimated the change.
  • Used SQL to reconcile migrated records and identify duplicate identifiers before Agile acceptance testing; attached failing examples to the acceptance criteria so the business owner could make a traceable sign-off decision.
  • Automated SQL reconciliation with Python against a de-identified AWS staging extract. Grouped differences by business rule and attached reproducible exceptions to Jira; resolved the disputed acceptance criteria with the business owner before migration sign-off.
  • Mapped business rules to data fields and acceptance tests, reconciled contradictory stakeholder requests, and walked users through exception scenarios before sign-off.
  • Owned a requirements review using SQL metric reconciliation, resolved conflicting business definitions and completed Agile acceptance criteria with the process owner.
  • Built a Python validation notebook using an approved AWS data extract, reduced reconciliation preparation from 85 to 35 minutes and published the metric assumptions.

Business Analyst

Jan 2019 - Feb 2022

  • Coordinated UAT with business users using scenario-based test cases, a defect triage log, and explicit sign-off owners. Kept unresolved control failures visible instead of treating every completed test as a pass.
  • Reviewed a delivered feature against acceptance criteria with design and engineering, documented the unresolved usability issue, and agreed whether it should block release or enter the next iteration.
  • Traced a late scope request to the underlying user need, compared it with the agreed release goal, and worked with delivery partners to split required behavior from a follow-up enhancement. Updated acceptance criteria before development continued.

Selected project

Project owner

Feb 2024 - Jun 2024

  • Used SQL to reconcile source transactions against the proposed reporting model, testing null values, duplicate invoices, and currency conversion dates
  • Used a public product workflow to map the user problem, decision points and acceptance criteria; marked assumptions separately from observed behavior and prioritized an experiment before specifying a complete redesign.
  • Prepared a decision log showing alternatives, dependencies and the metric that would reverse the recommendation; walked through an exception path and updated the acceptance criteria when ownership was unclear.
  • Owned the independent prototype review using task-based acceptance criteria, resolved an ambiguous exception path and completed a test plan with an explicit stopping rule.
