Summary

Experienced Business Analyst with extensive expertise in agile projects, requirements management, and process analysis.

I work closely with Product Owners, business teams, and external IT service providers to structure, analyze, and convert business requirements into clear technical specifications. I use proven methods like UML and BPMN and modern tools for modeling and documentation.

With solid experience in the insurance industry – including at Allianz, Uniqa, and Vienna Insurance Group – I bring deep process understanding in areas such as in-/out-collection, claims, and commissions.

I also served as a Solution Developer at ConVista Faktor Zehn GmbH in Austria, where I gained hands-on experience with the Faktor Zehn Suite.

I write and maintain user stories and acceptance criteria and support development teams in implementation. In Scrum projects, I play a key role in workshops, interviews, backlog prioritization, and quality assurance. My working style is analytical, structured, and team-oriented with a strong focus on clear communication between business, IT, and external stakeholders.
