I am an IT Professional experienced in Business and Systems Analysis. I work as a liaison between business clients and IT partners, collaborating closely with architects, development teams, QC, & other IT teams. My skills include requirements elicitation, analysis, design, build, implement, and production support. Playing a role in each phase of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) has helped me to strengthen my skills and broaden my knowledge in the areas of business and systems analysis. I have a keen observance for SDLC compliance. In one of my recent success stories, I introduced a regiment that showed solid improvement in my team’s adherence to project guidelines and minimized audit gaps. This implementation instituted a solid framework for successful design, build, and maintenance of our team’s projects and applications. My experiences also include strategic planning & tactical solutions, system integration, integrating vended solutions, data warehousing, client request intake & estimation, SOX Controls & Assessments, and cross-domain solutions design. My greatest satisfaction stems from my passion in servicing my clients in effectively translating their business needs into business and technical requirements. Some of the greatest compliments I have received from my leaders and peers have been their recognition of my passion and strength in writing. I have been particularly effective in building strong client relationships and IT partnerships. Collaborating with IT partners at all levels, I facilitate group discussions, build consensus and define business requirements that meet clients' needs and deliver technology solutions that effectively enable business objectives.
