๐Ÿ“Š Business Analyst

Hi, I'm Eric

I bridge the gap between data and decisions โ€” translating complex business problems into clear insights, actionable recommendations, and tools that stakeholders actually use.

A little about me

I'm a Business Analyst with a background in Management Information Systems, currently working remotely from Taipei, Taiwan. My work sits at the intersection of business strategy, process improvement, and data-driven decision making.

Day to day, I collaborate with stakeholders to understand business needs, translate them into analytical solutions, and communicate findings through dashboards and reports that drive real decisions. I care about making complexity approachable โ€” whether that's for a client, a team lead, or an executive.

I've worked across industries โ€” insurance brokerage, digital marketing, and finance โ€” which has given me a broad lens on how organizations operate and where data can create the most impact. I'm always looking for the next problem worth solving.

๐Ÿ“ Based in Taipei, Taiwan

Working remotely for a US employer, holding a Taiwan Gold Card for long-term residence.

๐ŸŽ“ MIS Background

BBA in Management Information Systems โ€” trained to connect technology with business outcomes.

๐Ÿค Stakeholder-First Mindset

I translate technical findings into clear narratives that help non-technical stakeholders make confident decisions.

๐ŸŒฑ Always Growing

Expanding into product thinking, Agile delivery, and analytics engineering to broaden my BA toolkit.
