Business Analyst Intern
Jun 2026 - Aug 2026
- Under supervision, mapped business rules to data fields and acceptance tests, reconciled contradictory stakeholder requests, and walked users through exception scenarios before sign-off.
- The team mapped the current invoice approval process with finance and operations, recording exception paths, decision owners, and handoff delays; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team separated policy constraints from steps that could be automated; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- The team translated stakeholder interviews into versioned requirements and acceptance criteria, linking each user story to a business rule; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team gave engineering and compliance the same definition of an acceptable release; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- Under supervision, owned a requirements review using SQL metric reconciliation, resolved conflicting business definitions and completed Agile acceptance criteria with the process owner.
- Under supervision, built a Python validation notebook using an approved AWS data extract, reduced reconciliation preparation from 85 to 35 minutes and published the metric assumptions.
Selected project
Business Analyst — independent case study
Intern project team member
Sep 2025 - May 2026
- In a mentor-reviewed simulation, 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.
- As a second supervised exercise, 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.
- Under supervision, the team used SQL to reconcile source transactions against the proposed reporting model, testing null values, duplicate invoices, and currency conversion dates; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review
- 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.
