-: My name is Aelsia Kelly and I graduated from NJIT in 2014
and 2015 with a bachelor's and master's
in biochemical engineering and currently I work
at United Health Group as a senior business analyst.
My main role is to be a liaison between the product owners
as well as the technology team so the product owner
will tell me we need to enhance this part of our application
and what I have to do is communicate this to the tech team
by a business requirement document.
So I have to write a whole requirement document
that breaks down what the product owner wants
and then, from there, translate that information
to what the technology team can take in
and then they produce this application.
Currently our application is called Real World Evidence
and what this is is we have all this patient data
and what clients will do is that they take this information
and put it into our application and what we do
is that we provide different filter
and say they are looking for just for patients
with diabetes and they're taking X medication.
So we are able to provide them with this patient journey
of how long, you know, this person took this medication,
and then from there they went to this step here
or X, Y, and Z so they're able to see what the patient
went through from the start and finish.
You're also multitasking a lot
because you have to work on the current item
as well as, you know, you've worked on stuff
for the previous release
and then people will have questions about it.
So if I'm working on something for the next iteration
and then the team is working currently on producing
what I worked on in the last iteration,
they have to ask questions or, you know,
they just need more clarifications for certain items
so basically that's what my job entails.
