With over 10 years of experience as an IT Business Analyst and Product Owner (CSPO certified), I have honed my skills in the fintech, financial services, and healthcare sectors. Throughout my career, I have successfully led various projects, assuming roles such as test manager, project manager, and product owner. My strengths lie in my analytical and technical abilities, complemented by my collaborative nature and innovative problem-solving approach. My educational background includes studies in economy and administration, Norwegian language and culture, and banking and financial innovations, giving me a solid foundation to excel in diverse IT environments. Currently, I am a Senior IT Analyst at Circle K Europe, where I manage IT projects related to the fuel and EV sector. My responsibilities include performing scope and requirements analysis, creating user stories, and developing API solutions for initiatives like EV charging. Prior to this, I worked at Roche, eService, and Mastercard, where I facilitated workshops, collected and documented requirements, and created technical documentation. I have also been involved in significant projects such as the BioSample Portal at Roche and API Idempotency at Mastercard, consistently delivering high-quality results. My linguistic proficiency in Polish, English, Norwegian, and German further enhances my ability to work in international settings.Tech Stack
