Background

About Benjamin Tomb

I am a seasoned business analyst with extensive experience in multiple segments of the mortgage industry, including origination, loss mitigation, securitization, loan servicing, and field services. Over my career, I have performed technical documentation and requirements analysis from multiple different sources, including business sponsors, vendors and customers, research into technical documentation and direct testing on legacy systems, as well as program guideline publications by government entities. I facilitate communication between business end users and developers to be sure that software projects fully meet business needs, while managing scope creep and maximizing the utility of development hours. I bring myself up to speed quickly on new business processes and regulations so that I can effectively communicate business needs across different business segments.In order to research requirements effectively and communicate business requirements to software developers and data management teams, I've worked on honing my own technical skills. I studied information systems in college, including work in multiple languages such as C++, C#, Visual Basic, FORTRAN, PHP, and SQL. I've often found myself needing to do technical research in order to document current state processes and translate those to future state requirements. In order to perform data analysis, I've had to utilize SQL queries joining data from multiple sources. I've also become an expert in Excel, both for creating templates for business users, as well as for gathering, analyzing, and reporting data. I also have worked extensively in modeling data flows and processes, as well as gathering and documenting requirements for data interchange between internal systems, vendors, and clients.
