By conducting thorough assessments, identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and recommending process enhancements, I have played a vital role in optimizing operations, streamlining workflows, and driving productivity gains. Through effective stakeholder engagement, I have ensured that process improvements align with strategic objectives and address critical business needs. I have actively organized, participated in, and led various workshops and sessions throughout the project lifecycle.

Dec. 2017 - Jan. 2019Belgrade, SerbiaI have applied my expertise in business analysis to the banking sector, understanding the specific needs and regulatory requirements of financial institutions. By conducting thorough analysis and staying updated on industry trends, I have provided valuable insights to clients, identifying opportunities for process improvement, automation, and compliance. I have played an active role in organizing and facilitating workshops aimed at creating New/GAP analysis documentation. By bringing together stakeholders from various departments, including business users and IT teams, I have fostered collaboration and knowledge sharing. These workshops provided a platform for stakeholders to collectively define requirements, align expectations, and identify gaps or areas for improvement. I have excelled in creating clear and comprehensive Business Requirements Specifications (BRS) for banking projects. These specifications were supported by UML diagrams, such as use case and activity diagrams, to provide a visual representation of system behaviour and business processes. The BRS served as a blueprint for development teams, ensuring a shared understanding of requirements and minimizing ambiguity. As a liaison between stakeholders and the development team, I have facilitated seamless communication of requirements. By translating business requirements into actionable user stories, I have used collaboration tools like JIRA to efficiently manage and track development tasks. This ensured that stakeholders' needs were effectively communicated, minimizing the potential for misinterpretation or gaps. Effective communication and stakeholder management were crucial aspects of my role. I have guided stakeholders through the entire project lifecycle, ensuring their concerns are addressed and expectations are managed. Additionally, I maintained open and transparent communication with the development team, providing clarity, resolving queries, and ensuring a shared understanding of requirements.
