Business Analyst

I analyse business processes and turn client needs into agreed requirements for digital systems. I document scenarios and business rules, resolve inconsistencies, explore solution options, and support requirements from initial interviews through acceptance and implementation.

Business Analyst

What I can take on

Identify the underlying need

  • I interview clients and users and review documents and existing systems. I clarify the problem, objectives, stakeholders and constraints to define the task before development begins.

Analyse and improve processes

  • I model current and target processes, information flows and responsibilities. I identify manual work, duplication and coordination gaps, and propose changes and automation with clear business benefits.

Formalise requirements and business rules

  • I turn requests into structured requirements, user scenarios and acceptance criteria. I define functional scope, calculation and data-processing rules, taking regulations and procedures into account.

Reconcile conflicting requirements

  • I help departments and clients reach a shared solution. I reconcile needs, regulatory grounds and system constraints, record agreements, and validate them through prototypes and scenarios.

Define data and integration requirements

  • I examine data sources, structures and quality. I define matching, validation and import rules, exception handling and discrepancy-resolution procedures. I assess the changes required in off-the-shelf solutions.

Maintain requirements traceability

  • I build connected documentation from the initial vision to development specifications. I maintain links between requirements, documents and tasks, assess the impact of changes and compare solution options.

Validate outcomes with users

  • I validate the implementation against agreed criteria with testers and the client. I gather user feedback, specify the required corrections and verify the result again.

Experience and results

2007

TIK Region

Initially investigated processes and requirements personally and prepared specifications. Later delegated detailed analysis while retaining customer alignment and oversight. Organised examination of undocumented legacy Paradox data and agreement on cleansing and reconciliation rules. Used Microsoft Access for internal modelling and demonstration prototypes, not in the production system.

Functions

  • Requirements and regulatory analysis
  • Tender and detailed requirements specifications
  • Stakeholder alignment
  • Analysis documentation quality assurance
  • Acceptance and iterative delivery

Results

  • Fragmented district records were consolidated into a single social record for each citizen. The team developed cleansing rules and matching and discrepancy tools to help social protection staff validate data.
  • Data and calculations were reconciled against recipient registers, payment totals and, where necessary, paper files. Discrepancies led to source-data corrections, repeat imports and result checks before switching to the new system.
  • Helped the customer establish and train its own support team and prepare engineers, system administrators and users to operate the system.
2024

Cezyo

I turned the owner’s vision and verbal requests into connected documentation for development and design. I combined business and systems analysis, from discussing needs to documenting scenarios, processes and task specifications.

Functions

  • Interviews and requirements elicitation
  • User Scenarios / Use Cases
  • Functional decomposition
  • Requirements decomposition and documentation
  • Analysis documentation management

Results

  • A complete documentation set was created from scratch, from product vision to individual task specifications.
  • Functional modules, user and system scenarios, relationships, attributes and required reference data were documented.
  • Shared repositories of values, parameters and components were established.
2017

Hobby Express

Served as the lead analyst and requirements author. With the team and commercial specialists, compared the standard product with the future marketplace's processes. Defined product selection, checkout, seller accounts, price and delivery management, craft supplies attributes and catalogue imports. The key change was moving from a single marketplace warehouse to dispatch from individual sellers' warehouses, requiring shipment tracking, delivery lead times and coordination between participants. Solutions were discussed as a team; I owned the main document, task definition and business communication.

Functions

  • Fit-gap analysis of off-the-shelf solutions
  • Seller process and data-source discovery
  • Business rules and calculation algorithms
  • Integration and data-quality requirements
  • Agreement on exceptions and data correction procedures

Results

  • Bulk product-data imports from multiple sources replaced manual entry of individual product cards.
  • Algorithmic matching and discrepancy reports were introduced, followed by corrections to source registers and re-imports.
  • Adapted the standard platform to a custom product selection and checkout workflow, price management, shipments and delivery lead times from sellers' warehouses. Redesigned the interface and reworked the original forms.
  • The data-preparation process helped partners organise their own product registers.
2014

Sweet Georgia

Broke trip organisation down into individual operations and identified which to automate. Developed requirements for calculating tour costs, including accommodation, transport, fuel, meals and admission tickets. Provided for five service categories, pricing by group size, a target profit margin and manual adjustment of the final price. Validated algorithms against real examples: manual calculations were compared with the system's detailed breakdown by day and expense item. Accountants, partners and volunteers took part in the checks.

Functions

  • AS-IS / TO-BE process analysis and modelling
  • Business rules and calculation algorithms
  • Requirements decomposition and documentation
  • User Scenarios / Use Cases

Results

  • Accounting staff and management gained a tool for analysing trip finances. Detailed cost breakdowns helped identify savings, including combining an accompanying tour organiser with local guides for individual stages of the itinerary.
1997

Ivacon

I personally investigated processes from raw-material purchasing to finished-product sales. With production, procurement, warehouse, accounting and quality-control teams, I defined system requirements, data structures and calculation rules.

Functions

  • Interviews and requirements elicitation
  • AS-IS / TO-BE process analysis and modelling
  • Electronic data exchange requirements
  • Business rules and calculation algorithms
  • Stakeholder alignment

Results

  • Electronic exchange replaced courier delivery of accounting documents between departments.
  • Daily data transfers between branches and headquarters replaced document transport for operational reporting.
  • Calculating metal consumption and waste from material parameters and production output replaced manual weighing, reducing labour and costs.

Staff position

Business analysis within a development, implementation or digital transformation team. Domain immersion, collaboration with clients and users, and ongoing requirements support as the system evolves.

Project engagement

Process discovery and requirements for a new system or changes to an existing one. Suitable when you need to define the scope of change, agree on a solution and prepare implementation documentation.

Requirements review and consulting

Review of complex problems, conflicting requirements or existing documentation. Support in clarifying solution boundaries, choosing automation options and organising analysis work.

Testimonials and recommendations

I have known Yuri since the development of the E-city project. I know him to be a successful manager and organizer. When the need arose, I brought him on board to help bring the first release of our project to its production-ready version. I would like to highlight his accuracy in estimating timelines—the actual timeframes matched his projections exactly. I also want to note his ability to manage communication across the board—engaging effectively with the owner, senior management, business units, external partners, and the development team. Thanks to him, many tasks were completed almost seamlessly and within a very tight timeframe.
