As a dedicated and results-oriented Business Analyst, I specialize in bridging the critical gap between business needs and technology solutions. My core philosophy is that successful project outcomes are built on a foundation of clear, shared understanding. I function as a key liaison, translating complex operational and strategic objectives into actionable technical specifications that empower development and quality assurance teams to build with purpose and precision.

My expertise is rooted in a deep, hands-on collaboration with a diverse range of stakeholders, from C-level executives to end-users and technical leaders. Through structured interviews, workshops, and proven elicitation techniques, I uncover not just the "what," but the crucial "why" behind every business requirement. This allows me to guide development and QA teams effectively, resolving ambiguities and ensuring the final product is perfectly aligned with the original business intent and vision.

With a strong foundation in both Agile (Scrum) and Waterfall methodologies, I have extensive experience navigating the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). In an Agile environment, I excel at managing and prioritizing the product backlog, defining clear acceptance criteria for user stories, and actively participating in sprint planning and retrospectives. Within a Waterfall framework, I ensure meticulous documentation and adherence to phased-gate processes. I am adept at creating comprehensive documentation, including detailed Business Requirement Documents (BRDs), Functional Requirement Documents (FRDs), User Stories, Use Cases, and Requirements Traceability Matrices (RTMs), ensuring clarity and alignment across all project phases.

My background in the Procurement and E-commerce domains allows me to quickly understand core business drivers and identify high-impact opportunities for process automation and improvement. I am passionate about performing in-depth gap analysis and process mapping to propose solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and deliver tangible value. I work closely with business stakeholders to review and re-engineer processes, leading to cost savings, higher quality, increased efficiencies, lower risk, and shorter cycle times. Beyond analysis, I have a strong command of the testing lifecycle, including writing detailed test scripts and performing backend data validation using SQL to ensure the integrity and reliability of the final solution.

Key areas of expertise include:

• Stakeholder Collaboration & Requirements Elicitation
• Agile & Waterfall SDLC Methodologies
• Business & Functional Documentation (BRD, FRD, User Stories)
• Process Improvement & Gap Analysis
• Guiding Development & QA Teams
• End-to-End Testing Methodologies (Functional, API, Regression)
• Proficiency in tools like JIRA, MS Visio, and SQL

I am always eager to take on new challenges and leverage my analytical skills to drive successful project outcomes. Let's connect!
