A BUSINESS ANALYST’S MINDSET

I make the complicated understandable.

I’m Daniel — a business analysis and delivery professional with a software engineering background and more than 20 years working across Ireland and Brazil.

I enjoy the space between a business problem and a workable solution: listening carefully, asking the right questions, mapping the process, aligning people and turning decisions into delivery that can be measured.

My experience spans banking, telecoms and SaaS. That range helps me connect business goals with technical realities without losing sight of the people who use the outcome.
