Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Brown is a seasoned Senior Business Analyst Consultant based in Melbourne with over three decades of technical and delivery experience and 12 years in senior consulting roles across government, banking, insurance and transport. He combines deep mainframe heritage (IBM/Cobol/DB2) with modern digital transformation skills—data migrations, XML/XSD messaging, API and UI/UX taxonomy design—having led complex platform moves for ATO, ANZ, NAB and Services Australia. Known as a pragmatic problem-solver, he designs practical data models and migration strategies, implementing service delivery governance for high‑risk programs such as mainframe-to-.NET/Oracle and RACF security replatforming. Michael pairs hands‑on debugging and backend fixes (evident from modest open-source game backend contributions) with stakeholder facilitation and workshop-driven requirements capture. He brings a scientist’s curiosity from an honours background in biochemistry to untangling entangled legacy systems and extracting business value from messy data. Humble, tenacious and client-focused, he thrives on converting regulatory and compliance demands into reliable, auditable solutions.
