Business Analyst & Project Manager | Data‑Driven Reality

Hello! I’m your go‑to hybrid Business Analyst and Project Manager—the professional companies call when they need someone who can both uncover the why and engineer the how. With 12+ years of experience across fintech, SaaS, e‑commerce, and advanced manufacturing, I combine rigorous analytical thinking with battle‑tested delivery leadership—so you don’t have to choose between strategy and execution.
What Sets Me Apart

1. Full‑Spectrum BA‑PM Fusion
Most freelancers lean heavily toward either requirements analysis or project governance. I sit at the intersection, translating stakeholder vision into crystal‑clear user stories, and then shepherding those stories through agile or waterfall lifecycles until the value is in users’ hands.

2. Niche Technical Fluency

AI & Machine Learning Enablement – Seasoned in framing ML use‑cases, defining data pipelines, and managing MLOps rollouts.

Low‑Code / No‑Code Automation – Expert in Power Platform, Retool, and Make.com for rapid, cost‑effective prototypes.

Regulated Environments (PSD2, GDPR, ISO 27001) – I build compliance into requirements, saving you late‑stage headaches.

Data Storytelling – Tableau, Power BI, Looker; I design dashboards that spark decisions, not confusion.

API Productization – OpenAPI spec writing, monetization frameworks, and developer‑portal launches.

3. Quantifiable Impact

Cut order‑fulfilment SLA by 47 % for a D2C retailer by re‑engineering their WMS workflows.

Grew ARR by €4.2 M at a B2B SaaS scale‑up through a pricing‑engine revamp delivered three sprints early.

Slashed onboarding time from 14 to 4 days at a fintech by automating KYC and risk scoring with Azure Cognitive Services.

Engagement Style

✅ Discovery First, Delivery Fast. I invest upfront in sharp, collaborative discovery. Once scope is locked, my cadence accelerates—daily stand‑ups, fortnightly demos, and transparent burn‑ups keep you always in the loop.
✅ No Surprises Policy. Forecasts, risks, and blockers are surfaced early. You’ll never learn bad news the hard way.
✅ Lean and Empathetic. I respect budgets and human bandwidth. Processes are as lightweight as possible, but never lighter than necessary.
✅ Culture Chameleon. From early‑stage scale‑ups to Fortune 500 steering committees, I adapt my vocabulary, artefacts, and decision‑making thresholds to match your context.
✅ Multilingual Collaboration. Fluent in English, German, and conversational Spanish—plus time‑zone flexible—for seamless cross‑border teamwork.
