I have over five years of working experience in IT. On a side note, I also have a technical background as a Software Engineering student and volunteer in community-based software development projects.

Prior to focusing on Business Analysis, I've worked within Outbound Marketing, first as a regular specialist (0.5 years) and then as team lead (1 year). Over that period, I've familiarized myself with the BA toolset to improve our Outbound workflows.

My pure Business Analysis experience (3 years) includes pre-sale activities, extensive client communication, ongoing project support, product strategy planning, and implementation. 

Within my recent experience, I've already worked on projects of sharply varying complexity (from local eCommerce shops to prominent FinTech startups), requiring thoughtful application of almost all BA techniques to a certain extent.

I am proficient in:
– Business Logic (Rules, Requirements)
– Functional/Non-Functional Requirements
– User Stories
– User/Activity Flows
– UML
– Wireframing/Prototyping
– Artifact Traceability 

I have solid experience with:
– BPMN
– UI/UX documentation
– Data Modelling and ER Diagrams
– Database design

Relevant personal qualities: 
Diplomatic, Friendly, Relatable, Cooperative, Approachable, Convincing, Devoted to project success, Open to criticism, Rigorous when presenting arguments
In order to develop professionally, I'd like to work in an environment with a stable management approach, take ownership of the project, and discuss progress or any issues within a circle of professionals.

I prefer to work with the product, or Planning/Discovery Phase rather than pre-sales. That is not critical, yet it is important for me to use my skills as the best possible advocate between the client/CXO and the development team.
