I am a top-ranked highly motivated business analyst with a proven track record of consistent and quality delivery of work. I have about ten years experience in
requirements analysis, design, and implementation with over four years in the
adoption of Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology and best practices. I
have implemented RUP throughout the software development lifecycle and have focus
on comprehensive understanding and functional support of internal business
processes and automated systems. My area of expertise is
business analysis, requirements management, systems design and JAD. I possess extensive experience in the UML
and various Rational tools such as Rose, Requisite Pro, Clearcase
and RMC, and have background in programming with various software languages
such as C/C++/Java/HTML. I have knowledge of designing Java based systems and
experience in implementing systems with the SOA approach of architecture. I
have experience in enforcing HIPAA and SOX compliance in IT processes. |
