Business Systems Analyst — Utah, USA

I find where
your system is
failing your people.

Then I fix it, teach it, and leave your team empowered enough that they don't need me to come back. Eight years in financial services. Methods that translate anywhere.

Eight years of finding
what everyone else missed.

Most processes don't break all at once. They slowly collect workarounds until no one remembers why things work the way they do. I'm the person who untangles that.

I follow problems across departments, workflows, and systems until I find the real root cause — not the ticket version of it. Then I fix it and make sure your team understands it well enough to never need me again.

That's the standard I hold myself to. A clean hand-off. If your team is still calling me six months later, I didn't finish the job.

"The difference I bring isn't just technical execution. It's making sure your people understand the system well enough to never need me again."

What I'm brought
in to fix.

The problems I solve aren't unique to one industry. Broken workflows, misaligned systems, and friction between people and technology exist everywhere. My experience is in financial services — my methods translate anywhere.

01

Contract BSA Engagements

Embedded analysis work — short or long-term. I map your systems, surface the failure points, build the fix, and hand off cleanly. No ongoing dependency on me by design.

Fintech Banking Insurance Operations

02

Process & Workflow Audit

A diagnostic of how work actually moves through your organization — not how it looks on the org chart. Deliverable: a clear map of where friction lives and a prioritized path forward.

Any Industry Operations HR Finance

03

SaaS Implementation Support

Bridging the gap between what the vendor promised and how your team actually works. I keep implementations grounded in operational reality, not the demo version of it.

Lending CRM Core Banking SaaS Rollouts

04

Requirements & Documentation

Translating ambiguous business needs into precise, actionable requirements. Clean enough that developers build the right thing, stakeholders stay aligned, and QA has something real to test against.

Product Engineering Compliance

Step 01

Roam & Diagnose

I don't fix the ticket. I follow the problem until I find the real one. That usually means crossing department lines and asking questions the original spec never thought to include.

Step 02

Build the Fix

Solutions designed around how people actually behave — not how the blueprint assumed they would. A perfectly designed system that people route around isn't a solution.

Step 03

Hand Off & Leave

I teach the "why," not just the "how." When I'm done, your team understands the system well enough to train the next person themselves. That's the finish line.


If something's broken,
