Sample Answer
I’m a business analyst with six years of hands-on experience across fintech and healthcare. I’ve led analytics and product discovery work on teams of 4–8, partnering with engineering, design, and compliance. My technical toolkit includes SQL, Python for lightweight ETL, Tableau and Looker for dashboards, and hands-on experience with Snowflake and Redshift. I work in Agile/Scrum environments and use Jira/Confluence daily. Notable projects include a payments reconciliation pipeline that recovered $1.2M in annual revenue and cut manual reconciliation time by 70%, an EHR integration that supported 250k patients and reduced onboarding time from 6 weeks to 10 days, and a BI migration to Snowflake that improved dashboard load times by 60%. I focus on measurable outcomes, stakeholder alignment, and clear requirements that developers can ship quickly.
