Megan Burdick is a Release Engineer at Finance of America. She is proficient in German, Japanese and French. Colleagues describe her as "I’ve worked with Megan for a year at Finance of America Mortgage on our Commercial Lending IT team. Megan is one of our most reliable BA’s. She and I have partnered on major enhancement projects for Encompass, our POS portal, and multiple proprietary pricing engines. Megan works directly with a team of 15 software developers and a corporate production deployment team for weekly sprints. Megan partners daily with 25+ business stakeholders in our sales, mortgage operations, capital markets and construction management organizations. Megan also manages our ICE Encompass billing reconciliation every month and excels in facilitating projects with third-party service vendors. Megan is recognized for being organized and responsive effectively managing several complex projects simultaneously. She oversees projects in various stages of the agile cycle, completing the QA script writing and testing for her own projects. Megan is flexible when projects change path midstream, able to modify her approach when projects needed to be rushed, and always willing to pick up unplanned critical projects while carrying her existing pipeline seamlessly. Megan’s technical writing stands out, even among her more senior peers with more time under their belt as BA’s. She provides thorough requirements documentation that is clean and structured to be effective for both our business partners and our developers. Megan’s communication and analysis talents were especially demonstrated when she managed one of our company’s most complex initiatives to implement underwriting authority thresholds and automate loan approvals across four mortgage products in Encompass. Megan is both a self-starter and a team player – an asset to any team. I look forward to her trivia facts and backstories on EVERY subject each day!" and "I have worked with Megan for a little over a year now and to say she has impressed me would be an understatement. I knew from Megan's background in support that she would be able to handle the fast paced and often stressful role of a Business Analyst but I could not have predicted the speed at which she absorbed new knowledge and was able to leverage that knowledge for the benefit of the team and the business. Megan is extremely detailed oriented, asks great probing questions and produces well written BRDs/Stories. She is passionate about understanding the business she is supporting which allows her to provide technology solutions that best fit their needs. She consistently volunteers to tackle new projects and works to enhance her skillset by learning new technologies (Audit software, CRMs, VBScript, etc). Working with Megan has re-affirmed my conviction that people who always strive to learn and better themselves make a powerful impact and are an asset to any organization."
