The bridge between business & technology

I'm a final-year BSc (Hons) Software Engineering undergraduate at NSBM Green University (University of Plymouth, UK), moving into business analysis. My engineering background means I speak the language of developers — and I love the other half of the job just as much: sitting with stakeholders, asking the right questions, and shaping messy needs into clear, testable requirements.

Across my projects I've gathered requirements, mapped processes, defined role-based access, and designed analytics dashboards that turn raw sales and attendance data into decisions. I care about clarity, structure, and building things people actually use.

Right now I'm looking for a Business Analyst internship where I can learn from a strong team and contribute from day one.

03 / What I Do

How I can help a team

Three ways I add value from day one of an internship.

01
🔍

Business Analysis

Elicit and document requirements, map current-vs-future processes, spot gaps, and write user stories with clear acceptance criteria that dev teams can build from.

02
📊

Data & Reporting

Query data with SQL, shape it into dashboards and KPIs, and translate numbers into insights that help stakeholders make confident decisions.

03
📝

Documentation

Turn complex ideas into clean BRDs, FRDs, process flows, and specs — the kind of clear writing that keeps business and engineering on the same page.
