Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVanessa Yuen is a Senior Analyst and CBAP-certified business analyst with over 15 years in IT—more than seven focused on business analysis—specializing in airline customer loyalty programs and large-scale Agile and Waterfall transformations. She combines strong technical chops (UBC computer science, ongoing Master of Data Science) with business acumen to drive process improvements that have delivered measurable cost and fraud-risk reductions for major programs like Asia Miles. Vanessa pairs hands-on engineering experience—contributions to high-profile open-source projects such as Electron, GitHub Desktop, and Storybook—with a track record of leading small development teams and launching customer-facing web and mobile platforms. Analytical and detail-oriented, she is equally comfortable automating CI/CD and build processes as she is eliciting complex requirements and redesigning operational workflows. Colleagues rely on her to find the right solution for the right problem, often uncovering efficiency gains and compliance improvements that are not immediately obvious.
