Portrait of Shayan Shaygani

Technical Business Analyst · Windsor / Toronto, ON

Building technical products that eliminate operational bottlenecks.

I bring 7+ years of experience bridging business and engineering. I currently lead enterprise integration at HUB International, and I am the Founder and Product Lead of USpeak AI, an application I scaled to 150+ countries.

About

I'm a Technical Business Analyst with 7+ years across business analysis, custom system development, and IT delivery, including 3+ years as the primary liaison between business stakeholders and engineering at HUB International, an insurance brokerage. I specialize in eliciting, documenting, and validating requirements across the full project lifecycle, from discovery through UAT and production support.

My background as a full-stack developer gives me a strong grounding in relational databases and lets me move fluidly between business and engineering conversations. I've built REST API integrations, led SQL-driven root-cause investigations, and automated QA pipelines that cut a day of regression testing down to under a minute. I'm IIBA-certified in Technical Product Management and hold a Scrum Master Certification.

Outside the day job, I'm the founder of USpeak AI, an AI speaking-practice app I've grown to 3,000+ users in eight months, designing, building, and shipping the entire product myself on a serverless Firebase/GCP stack.
