About

I’m a functional leader and Staff-level Product Owner/Business Analyst (Business & Systems) specializing in designing end-to-end processes and functional architecture for complex platforms—mostly in finance & banking.

I also have 5+ years leading BA/PO, software delivery, TestOps, and task-force teams. What I do best - Turn ambiguous goals and regulatory constraints into clear operating models, functional designs, and delivery roadmaps - Lead teams (e.g., up to 8 BAs) to produce high-quality functional documentation and drive stakeholder buy-in - Design lean, generic, reusable models that reduce development effort while expanding processing coverage - Step in when delivery gets tough: migration support, incident resolution, post-migration data recovery, escalation handling Recent focus Transfer agency / share register platform redesign to support US market, as PO/BA Functional Lead in the Corporate Actions domain; led design, functional delivery, supported migration, and run a task-force resolving priority incidents and post migration data How I work Fail fast, maximize value over time, apply Pareto 80/20, and design solutions to be lean / generic / atomic - with clear ownership and outcome-driven execution. Toolbox Roadmaps/OKRs, FRDs, UML-style diagrams, data modeling & processing, user stories/AC, test cases, user manuals, UI mock-ups; Scrum/SAFe/Kanban/Waterfall; Jira/Confluence/Azure DevOps; basic SQL.
