Back to original languageAbout Houda
Techno-functional consultant with 8 years of experience in the banking sector, I have built my career by evolving from development to business analysis. I started as a developer on COBOL mainframe environments, then expanded my scope to business analyst roles, while maintaining a strong technical sensibility.
My experiences at Azqore, Natixis, Crédit Agricole, and Sopra Banking Software have allowed me to work on complex projects in core banking (particularly on the S2i solution), interbank payments (SEPA, Swift MT/MX, ISO20022), and application support for critical platforms.
I am proficient in business needs analysis, functional specification writing, anomaly management, and monitoring tests and production launches. Thanks to my technical background (COBOL, SQL, REST API, Unix, etc.), I fluently and effectively bridge the gap between IT and business teams.
I am accustomed to working in international environments, with teams spread across France, Switzerland, India, and Singapore, often in an agile framework.
Autonomous, rigorous, and solution-oriented, I appreciate contexts where I can contribute to project success by working on both functional and technical aspects.
