Banking background, Amsterdam-based, EU work authorization.
About
My Journey
I'm a Business Analyst and Product Owner with a banking background across retail, SME, and corporate domains. For the last few years I've worked on fintech integrations and digital banking products - the kind of work where a vague business ask has to become a precise, testable requirement before anything gets built.
How I work: I start with the problem and the stakeholders, map the process as it really is, and only then write requirements and user stories with acceptance criteria the team can verify. I keep the backlog prioritized and the scope honest, partner closely with compliance and engineering, and I follow the numbers after launch to see whether we actually solved the problem.
I'm based in Amsterdam and authorized to work across the EU without sponsorship. I recently completed a Business Analysis & Agile traineeship in the Netherlands and I'm studying Business & Finance at VU Amsterdam.
